Dear Editor:
I would like to thank you for the great coverage of the Summerland United Church Refugee Sponsorship Group in the Jan. 29 edition of the Review.
As a result of the publicity given by your newspaper and other media outlets in the Okanagan area we have received generous offers of furniture and housewares and donations to help with the living expenses of the family as they settle here in Summerland.
Your readers will be happy to hear that the family will arrive in Summerland at the end of March, and we look forward to welcoming them, assuring them of safety and enabling them to find their feet in a new land.
We are still fundraising and if you have not donated, Summerland United Church would be happy to receive your gift marked for “Refugee Support.” It will help.
David Sparks and Garry Hollingshead
