Salem Alliance Baraka Refugee & Immigrant Ministry is partnering with Salem For Refugees to host a January Birthday Party for our refugee & immigrant neighbors! We will celebrate with cake, snacks, games, and prizes.

We are looking for volunteers to help with set-up, decorating, greeting, serving food, leading games, and clean-up from times ranging between 3:00 – 9:30pm.

We are also looking for donations of new items to give away as Bingo prizes (household items, candy, toys, etc.) Help show our global neighbors that they are seen & valued!

To volunteer or donate Bingo prizes, contact Nicki Scholz

This year’s Trunk or Treat was a huge success despite some truly wild weather. Our team braved everything—from high winds and rain to bursts of sunshine—and continued to serve with joy and kindness the entire time.
Because of that dedication, we were able to welcome 359 kids and about 700 total guests. Every one of those guests had the opportunity to experience the peace and presence of Christ through the hospitality and warmth shown by our volunteers.
We’re incredibly grateful for everyone who helped make this event possible and grateful for the impact it had on our neighborhood. Here’s to carrying that joy and connection forward—and to hoping for calmer weather next time!

Registrations for Trunk or Treat 2026 will launch September 2026.

You’re invited to a special performance by the Watoto Children’s Choir, joining us all the way from Kampala, Uganda! This renowned African children’s choir tours the world sharing the good news of Jesus. They have performed for the Queen of England, the President of the United States, and almost every major parliament in the world. The concert will open with Salem’s own Uhuru Youth Choir, featuring youth from Africa who came to Salem as refugees.

There will be an opportunity to donate towards a love offering to benefit the Watoto Children’s Choir. Come join us for this special evening, and spread the word to your family, friends & neighbors!

This event will be for new and returning Baraka English volunteers to have an orientation, and to receive important updates about the 2025-2026 school year. Baraka English is thankful for our wonderful volunteers that serve as teaching assistants, childcare volunteers, hospitality coordinators, and drivers.

The volunteer orientation will be held at the Salem Alliance Church main building in the Courtyard Room.
