International Rescue Committee (IRC)

IRC Supporters Adopted 95 Refugee Families for the Holidays!

IRC supporters are incredible!  You made the holidays special for 95 refugee families.

Over 100 local donors adopted 95 refugee families, providing gifts of new shoes, blankets, toys, and cooking pots.  Donors were given the names, ages, gender and shoe sizes of the members in a family and then shopped specifically for that family.

The refugee families were from Burma, Burundi, Bhutan, Congo, Eritrea, Iraq, Pakistan, and Sudan (Darfur).

Thank you to all who participated - you made this holiday season special!
