Hearts and Homes for Refugees
Founder/President
Since a countywide call to action three years ago, the community grassroots momentum in Westchester County has effectively changed the landscape for refugee resettlement and welcoming. There are over 2,000 community volunteers (and growing!) and 40 partner organizations that continue to offer resettlement and support to over 400 refugees. HHR believes and is proof that community partnerships in resettlement (in particular, the co-sponsorship model) represent a powerful, untapped resource in many communities. We have helped ignite and engage volunteers with mission-driven programs that include coalition building, information and resource sharing, education, refugee resettlement and other specific welcoming support activities that inspire, educate and equip communities and grassroots individuals to participate in resettlement and welcoming support of refugees. Our grassroots, volunteer-driven community engagement efforts here are scalable and we want to share and help foster such welcoming work in other communities where there may be others looking for ways to be part of the welcoming movement.
Please check us out, let's talk! We love sharing, hearing other stories about grassroots welcoming efforts and inspiring others!
