Helping people learn
Last year over 1,000 people attended refugee cultural nights.
Helping people serve
Last year we coordinated over 34,000 hours of service benefiting refugees.
Helping people give
In conjunction with Granite School District’s Educational Equity Department, we collected and distributed over $800,000 in goods and services to the refugee community last year.
We create meaningful connections between refugees, the community, and public and private organizations that support refugees in developing self-sufficient and fulfilling lives.
This offers an interesting perspective on wealth and “giving thanks” this week. Different cultures can add so much to our own perspective.
🌲 Many of you have been asking what we are doing for the holidays for local refugee families. 🎅🏽
Covid is changing many of the ways we do things. Normally, we have a large event called the Shepherd's Gathering. Over 500 refugee families come and enjoy a wonderful celebration. This year we are pivoting and want to still do something impactful for these families. There are many ways to help. Our goal is to serve 500 local refugee families.
