We are so grateful for our partnerships with RefugeeOne and Islamic Relief USA that make community impact even stronger. With cuts to refugee aid, the need has never been greater.

We are so grateful. Thanks to you, we raised over $12,000 this GivingTuesday—double our goal. This is Chicago at its best: a city that shows up for its neighbors. Every dollar goes directly to feeding refugee families, supporting Little Harbor Academy, and helping newcomers build lives in our home. To our donors, volunteers, and partners across our community: you've shown that refugees belong here. Thank you for making our city more welcoming, one meal at a time.

Our volunteers are the heart of this work. Every day, they show up to pack meals, build community, and remind Chicago's refugees that they belong here. Tomorrow is GivingTuesday—and we're asking you to stand with them. Help us reach our $5,000 goal and fuel the work our volunteers make possible. Together, we're building a more welcoming city.

Our coalition model underscores how deeply we value partnerships. Together, we are facing a season wherein critical refugee supports are being completely dismantled. Our collaborations are more critical now than ever. We are grateful for our partners at RefugeeOne and IRUSA, which have enabled us to provide 7,200 hot meals to Chicago's refugee community so far in 2025. In advance of , please keep Chicago Refugee Coalition top of mind as you consider your philanthropy.

With the suspension of critical SNAP and federal benefits, Chicago's refugees are facing food insecurity like never before. Since our founding in 2018, the Chicago Refugee Coalition has provided over 300,000 meals to our refugee and immigrant communities. Your donation helps us make sure that no refugee goes hungry.

This Thanksgiving, we're grateful for the refugee families we serve, the volunteers who show up every day, and the community partners who stand with us in our mission.

Gratitude isn't just a holiday—it's the foundation of everything we do at CRC. We're thankful for the resilience, hope, and strength our clients bring to Chicago. We're grateful for the team that makes Little Harbor Academy possible. And we're deeply appreciative of supporters like you who believe in our work.

As we gather this season, we're reminded that belonging matters. Community matters. And every person deserves a safe place to thrive.

Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at the Chicago Refugee Coalition.

Why Little Harbor Academy matters:

Refugee families in Chicago face unique challenges - language barriers, unfamiliar systems, and limited childcare options that understand their needs.

Little Harbor Academy isn't just another daycare. We're creating a culturally responsive space where children can thrive while parents build their new lives with confidence.

This is about more than childcare - it's about community, belonging, and hope.

Join us at our Preview Party to learn more! RSVP here: https://bit.ly/lhawelcome

Newcomers arrived in Chicago in search of safety, not militarized raids that instill fear in families and tear children away from their parents. This operation undermined the dignity and due process that are owed to all people in the United States.

The Chicago Refugee Coalition stands in solidarity with new arrivals because when our neighbors are under threat, we must all come together.
