Intermountain Christian School’s 2021 Elementary Fall Service Project successfully met its donation goal this year. The project focused on creating hygiene kits for Afghan refugees settling in Utah and other struggling communities. The kits were created in partnership with and distributed by the International Rescue Committee (IRC) of Salt Lake City. Together, the ICS community collected over 800 items to be included in hygiene kits, twenty-eight completed kits total.

After the hygiene kits were packed and sorted, students and teachers gathered in Chapel and prayed for the individuals and families who would receive the kits. ICS community’s eyes were opened through this project to various needs in the area, and as they seek to continue to serve others, the school hopes all thanks and praise is redirected to Christ’s name and His agape love for all. Miss Potter says concerning the project, “To God be the glory!”
The IRC in Salt Lake City helps refugees and new Americans regain control of their future and positively integrate into the community. For more information or how to get involved, click here.
