Rain couldn’t dampen the welcome at our first Nations to Neighbors! With just shy of 500 tickets sold and nearly $44,000 raised through tickets, sponsorships, gifts, and pledges, we’re so grateful for the way our community showed up. Guests enjoyed food from around the world, explored our programs, and learned more about our refugee neighbors. Thank you to everyone who attended, volunteered, sponsored, and gave. You helped make our first event something special!

Even if you didn't make it, you can still donate and become a neighbor!

Whitney Houston famously sang that children are our future, and here at City of Refuge, we wholeheartedly agree. We are intentional about helping our youth thrive in this country, as they balance life between two worlds, taking on big responsibilities. For many, that can even involve assuming the weighty task of serving as interpreters for their families. One of our goals is to give these children a space to just be kids. Today, we hear from Emili Pezall about how our youth programs foster friendships and community through play.

Hi, Everyone! My name is Emili, and I am the Youth and Family Empowerment Specialist at City of Refuge. I help with our two afterschool programs for school-aged children and am also excited about opportunities for increased family engagement in the future! It has been a wonderful start to the school...
