Dear Friend of Refugee Connections Spokane,
As this year draws to a close, Refugee Connections Spokane thanks you for your past gifts to our organization. 2019 has been an unprecedented year for refugees and immigrants both overseas and in the U.S. Due to media coverage of hate speech, and with the move to cut refugee entry, the plight of refugees and immigrants, especially those living in Spokane area, is of grave concern. That is why our efforts to bring refugees and immigrants together with peers to participate in civic and cultural activities is vital in this community.
Your gift of $25 transports refugees for the Refugees’ Harvest Project, starting in 2011, refugees and immigrants have gleaned fruits and vegetables to share back with low-income and refugee and immigrant communities.
Your gift of $50 aids Cross-Cultural Navigators with the Refugee Elder/Immigrant Senior Outreach Program through ESL classes, civic and cultural field trips, citizenship classes, workshops on elder services and art, music and food.
Your gift of $100 contributes to tablets for Census Cultural Liaisons to educate 10 language communities about the importance of being counted in the 2020 Census.
Your gift of $200 relaunches American Law and Justice Workshops/Police Outreach to help refugee and immigrant populations understand what their legal rights are in the U.S. There would be translation to help overcome language barriers.
Your gift of $250 highlights Refugee and Immigrant Stories: Voice of Hope, in our Spokane area through storytelling and music whether in writing, audio or video formats, to be published on our website and Facebook and other social media platforms.
Your gift of $500 enriches World Refugee Day, on June 20, 2020, which celebrates the strength and cultural diversity of refugees in Spokane with community members.
Your gift of $1000 expands Refugee Kids Connect to 4 more sites, promotes leadership skills, engages young people with the community, builds confidence, assists with education and English, and creates a safe space.
Your gift of $2000 develops peer trainings for Trauma-Informed Care with refugees and immigrants.
Your gift of $2500 or more sustains our support team and widens our presence in the community, growing our daily interactions with community leaders and agencies and helping us advance the cause of education and advocacy.
Now, more than ever, please take the time to support our mission so that this valuable group of people can continue to learn about and contribute to our society. To donate, select the donation button below or send a check to the address below.
