Refugee Sponsorship in Partnership with Rainbow Railroad

Fairlawn is an affirming congregation whose faith is put into action, through services, support for our newly affirming congregations, and a current refugee sponsorship in partnership with Rainbow Railroad.

Our last refugee sponsorship, in partnership with Rainbow Railroad, was of a single man from Africa who escaped from state sponsored persecution.

Our Fairlawn refugee support team 4 had its first meeting in January 2020. The team, lead by Kevin Doe, is an enthusiastic, diverse and committed group.
