Last Friday, we gathered at A & H Farm to celebrate five years of the Manhattan Area Resettlement Team!

It was a wonderful afternoon spent with families, volunteers, staff, and board members. We enjoyed good food, time together, and a little fun at the farm. 🐐

We also had the opportunity to recognize one of our incredible volunteers, Yazmin Solis, with the Sarah Inskeep Volunteer Award, celebrating the compassion and dedication she brings to MART and our community.

Five years of MART has been made possible by so many people who have shown up, lent a hand, built connections, and welcomed others into our community. We’re grateful for every one of you. 💚

Here’s to five years and the community that makes MART possible! 🎉

As MART marks 5 years, we want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to every donor who has made this work possible.

From a $5 gift to donations of thousands of dollars, supporters from across the country have invested in our mission and the people we serve. Your generosity has allowed MART to establish an Emergency Fund, create the Estabrook Scholarship, and provide General Program Support for needs that often fall outside traditional funding sources.

Because of you, we have been able to purchase specialized shoes for individuals living with diabetes, assist with utility bills during times of hardship, support higher education tuition, and meet countless other urgent and unexpected needs.

Every contribution, regardless of size, has made a difference. As we celebrate this milestone, we thank you for believing in our mission and trusting us to steward your generosity. We look forward to continuing this work together and earning your trust in the years ahead. ❤️🏡💚

As we celebrate MART's 5th Anniversary, we recognize the outstanding staff who have helped shape our journey.

Through challenges, growth, and new opportunities, our team has remained committed to welcoming new neighbors and supporting them as they build successful lives in our community. In the past year alone, MART staff have provided more than 3,500 services to clients, helping families navigate daily challenges, achieve important milestones, and work toward self-sufficiency.

Their professionalism, dedication, and belief in our mission are the foundation of MART's success. Thank you for helping us reach five years of impact and for making a difference in the lives of so many individuals and families. 🎉💚

💚 September 11th is a day of remembrance that evokes powerful emotions for many people. The events of that day brought fear, uncertainty, and grief to people across the country and around the world. For many refugee families, fear and uncertainty are also familiar experiences, often shaped by conflict, persecution, violence, or the loss of home.

These experiences are not the same, but they can remind us of something we all share: the desire for safety, security, and the opportunity to build a better future. For those who have been displaced, rebuilding a life in a new place can bring uncertainty alongside hope. Yet, through it all, we see tremendous resilience, courage, and perseverance.

This September, we remember those affected by tragedy while recognizing the individuals and families who have overcome displacement and continue to build new beginnings. 💚

💚 A Community Effort 💚
MART began with a simple idea: when our neighbors need support, our community responds.

Five years ago, local residents, volunteers, faith communities, businesses, and organizations came together to welcome newly arriving families to Manhattan. From providing transportation and furnishing apartments to tutoring English and helping families navigate everyday life, community members stepped up in countless ways.

What began as a grassroots effort grew into the Manhattan Area Resettlement Team we know today.

Five years later, that same spirit of welcome continues to shape our work and strengthen our community. 💚

💚 Celebrating 5 Years of MART 💚
September marks five years of the Manhattan Area Resettlement Team welcoming and supporting newcomers in our community.

As we celebrate this milestone, we also remember the events that shaped the beginning of MART. Following the fall of Kabul in August 2021, thousands of Afghan families were displaced and forced to begin again far from home. Many found their way to communities across the United States, including Manhattan.

Throughout these five years of service, we honor the resilience, strength, and perseverance of those who have rebuilt their lives and continue to enrich our community.

Here’s to five years of community, connection, and new beginnings. 💚

A day of learning and connecting in Kansas City! 🚗💚

This week, members of the MART team traveled to Kansas City to visit Bethel Neighborhood Center and learn more about the programs and resources they provide to support their community.

We also made a stop at Juniper Gardens Training Farm to see their community growing spaces and greenhouse. 🌱

We’re grateful for opportunities to connect with other organizations, learn from their work, and bring new ideas back to Manhattan!
