Valley Neighbors

In this time of opposition, the local community showed what it looks like to come together for our immigrants neighbors! Our April 24 Syrian Dinner Fundraiser at the Majestic Valley Arena! was our most successful to date, netting $10k for the important work of welcome. Participants had the opportunity to sample incredible Syrian home cooking--and no one left hungry!
