Thank You, Kimberly-Clark!
Big thanks are in order to the Kimberly-Clark Corporation and the United Way of Chittenden County for connecting the AALV-JUMP (Joint Urban Ministries Project) Collaborative with more than a $1,000 worth of diapers for our community. AALV staff members Naweza, Kalton, and Bol are clearly very excited about the donation! The AALV-JUMP collaborative connects low-income members of the African refugee and immigrant community with emergency utility shut-off assistance, extra diapers, extra food, and vouchers for clothing and laundry. While this type of assistance sounds like relatively little, it in fact can mean the difference between self-sufficiency and homelessness.
Thank you, Kimberly-Clark, for your donation, and thank you, United Way, for your wonderful networking assistance!
