The ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ in Atlanta expects to welcome 700 school-aged children to Georgia in the upcoming year and we can’t do this without YOU! This summer, we are organizing a Back 2 School Supply Drive to ensure the refugee families we serve have backpacks full of everything they need as children enroll in their new schools and begin to rebuild their lives.

It is with great pleasure that I share with you the news that ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ has welcomed Sarah Terlouw as the new executive director of the ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ Northern California offices. Sarah is not new to the ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ family. She most recently served as the country director for the ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ operations in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), consisting of 6 offices and a team of more than 700 staff across the country.

Una Bilic has been at the helm of the ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ in Tallahassee since it first started to welcome families across Big Bend communities in 2016. We now thank Una for her many years of service and dedication as she takes on an exciting new role within ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡â€™s headquarters team, and we look forward with excitement as a new era begins for the ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ in Tallahassee and its clients.

The results of the ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡â€™s research suggest that expansion of socially-minded consumer financing paired with financial education, and other asset-building programs, could help more low-income families achieve financial stability and at the same time reduce the risks the current subprime auto loan market represents to the overall U.S. economy.

We are continuously addressing the current and potential impacts this outbreak will have on ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ programs in Northern California (Oakland, Sacramento, San Jose, Turlock/Modesto). ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ is providing critical information in all relevant languages to ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ employees, volunteers, refugees, victims of trafficking, asylees, and other hard-to-reach populations. We are working hard to ensure families have access to life essentials: food, internet and devices, cash assistance and all eligible public benefits.
