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.
We have been working hard to provide incentives for refugee adults attending helpful programming. We are extending this support to get a refugee teens and children involved with healthy and helpful programming. During the pandemic, they were hit hard. We are looking for ways to re-engage them.
If you’d like to help, here a few ways.
There are some great projects for youth groups and school service classes to take on, especially the teen kits.
⭐️The easiest way to help is to share this post.

This is what a welcoming community does. When shelves are empty, you come to the rescue to bring much needed items to help refugee families.
We are amazed at how our “Serve Refugees/Utah Refugee Connection” comes through for us when we need help.
Just over a week ago, we were down to very few home & personal kits and we were down to 5 boxes of menstrual supplies. We put out a plea for support and you answered in a BIG way!
HUGE THANKS! 🙏🏼♥️ We are grateful for your kindness & responsiveness!
So many refugee families will benefit from these stocked shelves!
Here is Marta! She is a wonderful lady full of light. She attended our International Womens Day lunch. She is a single mom working hard to make her way. It was great the help connect her to resources. She wants to get her GED and move toward better employment.
This is why what we do is so important. Incentives kits help refugees attend helpful classes and lead them to healthier and more self sufficient outcomes. We love connecting New Americans to helpful resources.
Thank you for all the things are followers do to help with creating belonging for refugees in our community.
This is what can happen when people of different faiths and backgrounds come together to do good.
These churches ⛪️ came together to create 350+ Home Kits as incentives for refugees attending helpful classes or refugee families in need!
We go through about 400+ kits a month and they are a constant need, year round need!
We love different faiths coming together to do good! Spread the word about great idea in your community!🙏🏼♥️
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! ☘️🌈
This quote seemed applicable. Refugees are some of the most “unlucky” simply because of the circumstances they were born in to.
Thanks for helping the “unlucky” among us!
We loved gathering as women to celebrate International Women’s Day. We had food from several different countries from @namash_swahili_cuisine , @nooralshamslc and @kurdish_katering. We had Asha Parekh from @utah.refugee.center give some inspiring thoughts. We danced and everyone left with a blanket from @minkycouture. We were honored to be hosted by Columbus Adult Learning Center. We had amazing partners @kengarff and @gsdfamilycenters!
Thanks to @kristilburton for donating her photography skills and time to document this special day of shared global sisterhood.
