THRIVE 2025: LEAN IN WITH US
Join us for our Annual Fundraiser
Lean in with us. Help us carry on.
We’ll celebrate the resilience of our students, and recognize the unwavering commitment of our staff, volunteers, and supporters—the people who make it all possible.
The Refugee Development Center is able to provide valuable services because of the personal contributions of our generous community supporters. Your financial support helps us provide the tools necessary for newcomer families to succeed. We thank you!
Help our Newcomer Center Flourish in 2025
Your gift supports newcomers in several programs such as First Steps Early Literacy, Citizenship, and English classes; Health and Housing Navigation services; and programming such as daily Sewing Lab, twice-weekly Tea Time, Driving Education and Field Trips for children. As demand for our services grows, we rely on your generosity to help us expand our resources to meet rising needs. Thank you for helping us continue offering these vital resources for newcomers in our community as we enter the new year. Donate
