Justice and Legal Thought Service Day

Solutions in Hometown Connections

Meeting time and location: 8:15 a.m., 1100 Cambridge Community Center

JLT will be partnering with Solutions in Hometown Connections to serve refugee families in the DC–Maryland–Virginia region, at three local sites. Solutions in Hometown Connections (SHC) provides mentoring and community programs to refugee and immigrant families. We work with them throughout the year welcoming our new neighbors to the community.

Our JLT team will assist SHC during their annual Back to School Drive. We will distribute school uniforms and supplies as well as donated food. Since we are also new to the UMD area, we will take time to get to know our neighbors through games and fun activities. Please be prepared to spend several hours outside serving people of all ages. 

Additional items to bring: 

• Scholars T-shirt
• Out of respect for the communities we serve, please keep shorts at a conservative length
• Closed-toed shoes (preferably athletic sneakers)
• Reusable water bottle
• Sunscreen
• Sunglasses and/or a hat
