Helping people learn
In 2018 more than 1,000 people attended monthly culture nights to learn about local refugee.
Helping people serve
In 2018 we logged over 32,000 hours of service - and counting.
Helping people give
In conjunction with Granite School District, we have collected and distributed in-kind donations totaling over $600,000 in 2018.
We create meaningful connections between refugees, the community, and public and private organizations that support refugees in developing self-sufficient and fulfilling lives.
We love it when our refugee friends share things like this on their social media feeds! Thank you to all of you making refugees feel welcome in Utah!
Investing a little time to get to know your neighbors on a personal level can make a huge difference in building friendships that can create change. #learnservegive
