Providing food assistance, health care, and economic empowerment to marginalized people in Moscow
Annual Goal: $86,000.00
Year to Date Gifts: $3,565.00
With programs funded by The Advance, Moscow Protestant Chaplaincy will support vulnerable people in Moscow, including immigrants and refugees from Africa and the Middle East, poor Russian families, and struggling Russian elderly people. MPC’s food assistance programs will provide regular take-home food parcels for 140 low-income Russian children and their parents, 120 elderly Russians, 25 refugee families, 30 Russian/African interracial families, and 30 new mothers. The Medical Advice Center will provide free medical consultations and subsidized treatment, including crisis care, for those who are unable to access health care elsewhere in Moscow. The Seeds of Hope Farm will provide transferable work skills, and nutritious produce for African immigrants and refugees. The Task Force against Racism will document racially motivated harassment and violence while counseling victims. Russian language classes in Moscow Protestant Chaplaincy’s parish center will allow asylum seekers and immigrants to quickly build some language competency when they arrive in Moscow. The Homeward Bound Repatriation Fund will purchase flights home for stranded immigrants and victims of human trafficking. The MPC Parish Center provides a space for MPC's social ministries and a drop-in safe haven for vulnerable immigrants and refugees. Finally, MPC will provide much-needed intercultural exchange, and spiritual support through enhancement of community life in the church.
MPC aims to improve the lives of marginalized immigrants, refugees, elderly people, and low-income families in Moscow by providing material, social, and spiritual support.
As a result of MPC's programs, we hope that vulnerable people in Moscow will be better supported, and better able to take care of themselves. In the long term, we hope that the activities of the Task Force against Racism will foster cross-cultural understanding and prevent some of the discriminatory hardship that immigrants and refugees face.
