The latest LIRS annual report is now available online. We've also created a set of four postcards to help you share the mission of welcome through pictures and stories. Print them on cardstock to mail to a friend, a legislator, a refugee foster parent and a detained torture survivor. |
|
You can support refugees everywhere by meeting needs in your community. Contact one of LIRS's local resettlement partners to learn about opportunities to welcome newcomers. If there's not a resettlement office in your area, contact LIRS for other ways to make a difference. |
