Current Volunteer Opportunities:

 

 -  Volunteers are needed to help with the Hmong Handwork consignment program – visit the Pan Dau page for more information. We believe that the opportunity for positive interaction between the mainstream community and the Southeast Asian refugee community benefits both groups, allowing the myths and misunderstandings between both communities to be confronted and dispelled.

 

 -  Come to the Cambodian Elders Program.  SeAM is currently looking for a volunteer coordinator to help run the program for about 5 hours per week.  If you don't have that much time, come once a month and bring friends or other members of your congregation.  You can hang out with the elders, help serve the meal, and have a great time.  The program is every Thursday morning from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm.  For more details, call 651-293-1261 or e-mail sarah@seam-stpaul.org 

Donate Money

Since 1981, SeAM board members and staff have worked to create and maintain programs that benefit the refugee community, and only with the support of a solid base of congregation and individual donors has SeAM been able to keep these programs running. Donations help SeAM further expand current programs or develop new programs to meet unfulfilled needs.
See how your gift can be automatically multiplied by matching grants from other foundations and companies!

 

Donate Quilts

Through the support of local churches and individuals, SeAM is able to provide quilts and blankets to new refugee families.  The majority of the quilts are handmade.  We give out quilts as quickly as we receive them, especially with the current large influx of refugees from Burma: in 2009 we distributed over 739 quilts.  The greatest need is for twin and full size quilts.
