Our custom care package program provides immigrant and refugee families with basic needs to provide a foundation for their life in the U.S. From ingredients for familiar foods to car seats to toys, our care packages are intended to bring a smile to children while making their parents’ lives a little easier during a difficult time of transition.
Connecting donor and recepient
Grassroot Project provided clothing for three children from Ghana. One of the donors of this project visited the family and met the children. The mother was very grateful, while the donor was pleased to meet the family. This was the first time we connected the donor directly with the recipient family.

HELPING A SINGLE FATHERWe helped a single father who moved with his three children from the Democratic Republic of Congo to the U.S. These children were provided with jackets and winter boots to keep them warm all winter. When we found out the girl's favorite color was pink, we made sure we got her a pink jacket. The children were very excited to receive the gifts and couldn’t stop smiling.

Importance of health
We connected to a family from Eritrea through a local teacher. They have 11-year-old twin daughters. One of the daughters has juvenile diabetes. We educated the mother about the importance of physical activity, proper eating habits, and regular monitoring of sugar levels. The daughters served as my interpreters as the mother did not know English. It was great to see these young girls step up and communicate with me and relay the
information to their mother. We also provided the children with winter jackets, boots, and jeans to prepare them for the Indianapolis winter. |
Car seat from a donor
A donor provided a car seat to this sweet child from Syria. The mother was extremely thankful and the child was all smiles. This particular project was sponsored by a single donor who reached out to us wanting to help a family through Grassroot Projects. We thank her for considering us!
