Honored to have city council member Lincoln Restler join our Eid celebration last night to help welcome our newest neighbors from Afghanistan, Libya, and Sierra Leone! Thank you for all you do for our community!
Huge thanks to the volunteers at @Accenture for helping us get 40(!) Ramadan supply packages out earlier this month to newcomer families resettling in NYC from Afghanistan, Syria, Chad, Burkina Faso, and elsewhere ✨
1) Mail a Ramadan care package: forms.monday.com/forms/3bf55870… 2) Don’t have time to mail a package yourself? No problem – you can still contribute: just $36 can cover a care package for a family of 6! newneighborspartnership.kindful.com/?campaign=1244… Help us reach our goal of 100 Ramadan supply packages!
Community welcome potluck dinner last night featured food and new neighbors from Colombia, Guatemala, and Afghanistan! These family-friendly dinners are an amazing way for newcomers to connect with other members of the community and share their culture!
We complement our core clothing partnership program with initiatives like postpartum supply packages and information sessions to connect refugee moms to community support and ensure their babies have a strong start! ❤️
In 2023, we served hundreds of refugees from 35 countries, and we’ll be able to welcome even more families in 2024. Check out some highlights from 2023 and stay tuned for ways you can support our newest neighbors in the coming year!
A Letter To Newcomers, from @GlobalRefuge

Do you know the technical difference between the terms "refugee" and "asylum seeker"?
