In collaboration with Chicago Hyde Park Village
Program Meeting
What does it take to make a home for a refugee family?
Wednesday, February 21, 1:30 p.m.
Augustana Lutheran Church
5500 South Woodlawn Avenue
Founding volunteers Diane Rudall and Dorothy Pytel will share stories with us about the beginnings and growth of the Refugee Project and the volunteers who have assisted families - from Syria, Afghanistan, Senegal, Congo, Mexico, Ukraine, and more - in many ways to make a home and become a part of our community. You will learn about recent advances in resettlement, including new summer, after-school and cultural programs. And last, but not least, they will address the challenges posed by the large influx of migrants this past year and how our community has come together to support these newcomers
