̽����ѡ and partners are continuing to make an impact for low income refugee families as they experience job loss, food insecurity and isolation.

The ̽����ѡ is thankful for our continued partnership with Starbucks, who has agreed to hire 10,000 refugees globally. Through these job opportunities, Starbucks is supporting clients as they rebuild their lives and integrate into their local communities. This month we want to highlight a success story from one of our own clients in Silver Spring who was recently hired by Starbucks.

World Refugee Day, June 20, is a global moment to shed light on the resilience and strength of people who have escaped conflict and are rebuilding their lives. The ̽����ѡ is celebrating with events throughout the month that recognize the accomplishments and contributions of refugees in the United States.

Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, refugee community leaders have helped provide masks, language accessible documents and videos, and put their lives on the line for their community.

Our work in Afghanistan, which has from the start spanned “the arc of crisis” from conflict to resettlement, has never been more urgent and crucial.

Uganda has embraced refugees fleeing war in South Sudan as brothers and sisters who need help and a chance to start a new life somewhere safe. See this welcome in action at a Ugandan restaurant whose owner is proud to count South Sudanese newcomers among her employees and customers.

The ̽����ѡ in NYNJ will continue to support Afghan individuals and families, and newcomers from across the Globe in their long resettlement journey. The crisis in Afghanistan has shaped the methodology of resettlement case management at the ̽����ѡ to bolster proactive and client-facing services and programming. With your support, the ̽����ѡ in NYNY can defy the temporal pressures and limits that inflate the emotional and financial burden faced by newcomers.

The ̽����ѡ in Salt Lake City's education team led a hike to Donut Falls, one of many activities organized to support refugee youth as they settle into life in Utah.
