our purpose
Mobilizing our city to welcome refugees with compassion, hope, and honor as they resettle and start a new life in Houston
Introducing No Passport Needed, a celebration of the friendships, shared experiences, and meaningful connections that make Houston a community of welcome.
From meals shared around the table to everyday moments that turn neighbors into friends, we're sharing stories that remind us we're far more alike than different.
Thanks to two generous donors, every gift will be matched, up to $75,000, through December 1st!
Over the coming weeks, we invite you to get to know our neighbors, celebrate the connections that bring us together, and help extend that same welcome to the next family.
Give local. Impact the world.
