We were founded on September 2, 2015.
That's when the image of Aylan Kurdi made the Syrian refugee crisis
too much for our hearts to bear.
too much for our hearts to bear.
We are a group of concerned Harrisonburg, VA residents who are dedicated to help Syrian refugees in the midst of the world's biggest humanitarian crisis. We also support local resettlement efforts for refugees from all areas of the world. Our hope is that our combined efforts will make resettlement easier for diverse refugees arriving in our community; that our advocacy will make a difference in local, state, and national policies regarding Syrian refugees; and that our service will demonstrate that good things happen for refugees and our communities when we work together.
