First Thanksgiving

  Last week, hundreds of refugee families across the United States joined the International Rescue Committee to celebrate Thanksgiving just a little bit early.  For some, the occasion marked a homecoming after a perilous flight from persecution and violence. For others, it was a chance to welcome new families into a community they already call home.
