The WELCOME CIRCLE
Join a community of generous monthly givers on a
mission to make our part of the world more welcoming for all
Help Us Roll Out a Warm Cbus Welcome
“What makes the RIC different is that it allows neighbors to help themselves and there's alot of dignity in that”
- Kalkidan Tefera, volunteer
Immigrants in Columbus are under growing pressure, and threats to immigrants are increasing. At the same time, federal and state support for organizations and programs that support immigrants is being cut at an unprecedented rate. Our neighbors are scared for the future, feeling less welcome than ever.
We continue to support our New American neighbors through rapidly changing immigration policies and increased enforcement actions. We believe that Columbus is home and remain committed to ensuring belonging for the more than 2000 immigrants and refugees we serve.
We’re doing everything we can to grow stronger; not just for the sake of growth, but because growth is required to meet rapidly growing needs.
If you believe in the work we’re doing to welcome and empower immigrants and refugees in Columbus, we are inviting you to partner with us by giving.
We depend on steady, reliable support from Welcome Circle members
Through the support of monthly donors like you, we have served over 1,040 immigrants and refugees from more than 43 countries of origin over the past 8 years.
We are committed to connecting our neighbors to life-changing resources from the place they call “home.” This is part of the culturally sensitive approach that has helped us build trust within our community.
