Take part in KRM's Community Sponsorship Program to mobilize your church, business, community group, or friend group to welcome a refugee family to America.
Groups will be paired with a refugee family before they arrive in America. Groups may choose to help with setting up family's apartment, gathering furniture and home supplies, attending the family's arrival at the airport, practicing English with the family, and helping the family navigate their new community by taking them to the thrift store, grocery, and library.
Financial and in-kind donations for the family the group works with are appreciated but not required.
Orientation, training, and COVID-19 Vaccination is required for all group members.
