In February we will share the plate with the Integrated Refugee and Immigrant Services (IRIS), a non-profit agency whose mission is to help refugees and other displaced people establish new lives, strengthen hope, and contribute to the vitality of Connecticut’s communities. IRIS offers services in housing, employment, legal matters, health, education and case management.
Welcoming persecuted people from other countries is America’s most noble tradition, and IRIS helps newcomers on the road to self-sufficiency by providing lifesaving support during their transition to life in the USA.
This year IRIS is holding its annual Run for Refugees and All Immigrahttps://irisct.org/nts on Sunday, Feb 11 at 10:00 a.m. for a flat 5K run/walk through the East Rock neighborhood of New Haven. Come and run and/or donate to IRIS through their registration page at https://runsignup.com/Race/CT/NewHaven/IRISRunforRefugees.
Thank you!
