Give Today 

We remain steadfast in our commitment to supporting and uplifting refugees and all other international newcomers in the region.

This will only be possible with the help of the broader community.

Together, we are stronger.

Hundreds of refugees have arrived in our community through rigorous vetting and legal means to seek a safer future, only to face the elimination of funding to support their resettlement. Our members estimate that actions since January 20 have amounted to hundreds of thousands of dollars in lost resources for direct support and operating funds for resettlement agencies working to help these newcomers.

The refugee community needs your help. Your one-time or monthly gift, at any level, will be distributed through our network to provide direct assistance to refugees and international newcomers in our community who are facing unmet needs due to these dramatic federal changes.

Please give today.
