🚗 Urgent Driver Need – This Wed!

We’re short on drivers for our refugee tutoring program (5:30–7pm at the Afghan Community Center). Two families with 5 kids each need a ride.

Email volunteer@wnstl.org if you can help drive! 💜

🚗 6 refugee women are just one lesson away from getting their driver’s licenses—but our Driving Program is paused until we raise $10K. One woman spends 4 hrs/day on the bus to work. Let’s fuel their future. 💜 Donate now: www.facebook.com/donate/57633...

Our new tutoring program helps refugee students with homework, math, and english.
