  • Hand-in-Hand Café community dinners were both sold out successes!  We need volunteers on the day of the dinners to set up, clean up, baby sit and more. 
  • Arabic <> English: We would like to introduce Arabic speakers learning English and English speakers learning Arabic to each other!
  • Still looking for a few people who could do some driving for a family in the Concord area. Contact Donna.

  • Do you have an extra room? The rules around applying for asylum in the United States have changed and the wait to get asylum keeps getting longer.

  • Family Reunification Fund: We are raising money to help the refugees we are involved with be re-united with their families. If you would like to donate to this fund, please CLICK HERE. Put the fund name on your check or along with the on-line donation.
