Helping Refugees
in Lexington Massachusetts and Neighboring Towns
There are places where being who you are is a punishable offense. There are places where you might be sentenced to death because you chose to live. These places have many names. But the ones who flee, have one. Refugee.
Hosting offers a safe and welcoming place for asylum seekers to stay where they can learn English, adjust to American culture and prepare for self-sufficiency. Here’s how.
We are a 100% volunteer organization and need your financial support. Every dollar we raise goes to support our refugee and asylum-seeking families.
