Contribute to the efforts!
Refugees often flee their homes at a moment’s notice. They arrive at our airport with few belongings, a difficult past, and earnest hope for the future. Welcome kits provide the basic household items they need for their new start in a place of safety.
Of course, financial donations are always appreciated and another good way to support our efforts. You can contribute by visiting the donate page on this website and selecting “Refugee Resettlement” from our list of funds. or by calling (918) 583-7121.
