CHILDREN AT THESE EVENTS ENJOY SINGING CAROLS, COLORING CONTESTS, GAMES, PUPPET SHOWS AND RECEIVE A HOT MEAL AND AN AGE-APPROPRIATE GIFT. THE PROGRAM IS IN ITS 12TH YEAR. THE GREATEST NUMBER OF CHILDREN SERVED ARE SYRIAN REFUGEES IN LEBANON. THERE ARE ALSO PROGRAMS HELD IN SYRIA FOR CHILDREN WHO ARE IDP'S THERE.
DIAPERS FOR REFUGEES: THROUGH THIS PROGRAM, THE RELIGIOUS FREEDOM COALITION DISTRIBUTES MILLIONS OF DIAPERS TO DISPLACED AND PERSECUTED CHRISTIAN REFUGEE FAMILIES EACH YEAR. YEARS OF WAR IN IRAQ AND SYRIA CAUSED A LACK OF MEDICAL CARE, LEADING TO INCREASED NEED FOR ADULT DIAPERS. THE INFANT PROGRAM HAS BEEN DECREASED BECAUSE OF THE INCREASE IN SPECIAL NEEDS ADULT DIAPER REQUESTS. ADULT DIAPERS ARE CONSIDERABLY MORE EXPENSIVE THAN INFANT DIAPERS BUT HAVE A LIFE CHANGING EFFECT. ADULTS NEEDING DIAPERS BECAUSE OF INJURIES OR ADVANCED AGE NO LONGER HAVE TO SLEEP ON THE FLOOR.
