For the past 30 years refugees who were forced to flee their homelands, and were chosen for resettlement in the state of Oregon, were initially resettled in the Portland metro area. Due to the rising costs of housing in Portland, agencies began to expand resettlement to the city of Salem at the end of 2015. There was an overwhelming response of support and volunteer efforts throughout the city. In October 2016, Salem Leadership Foundation hosted a series of lunch meetings called “Welcoming Our New Neighbors.” The purpose of these meetings was to bring together the various groups and organizations that were seeking to care for refugees and explore how the efforts could be coordinated. At the end of these meetings, Salem For Refugees was formed in order to continue the collaboration in caring for our new neighbors! Salem For Refugees is a growing network of community members, businesses, government organizations, non-profits, resettlement agencies, and faith communities who are committed to empowering refugees to thrive in Salem.

Did you know? We’re back with another one!

There’s always more to learn about the cultures, traditions, and experiences that make our community so unique.

Every new thing we learn is another opportunity to understand our neighbors a little better.

10 years of stories, friendships, new beginnings, and uncommon community.

From our earliest days to where we are today, so many people have been part of the SFR story. This video is just a glimpse of the countless moments, families, volunteers, partners, and community members who have shaped the last decade.

Here’s to 10 years of welcoming, belonging, and thriving together—and to all that is still ahead.

September is full of opportunities! 🙌

Our Employment Team has scheduled several trainings throughout the month focused on career advancement and opening doors to new opportunities.

From forklift and flagger training to childcare and more, these trainings are helping participants build new skills, explore career pathways, and take their next steps toward their goals.

We’re excited to see where these new skills will lead!

Culture shapes so much of how we communicate, celebrate, connect, and experience community.

Sometimes, something that feels completely normal to us can mean something entirely different to someone else.

The more we learn about one another, the better neighbors we become.
