We know inboxes are full of messages asking for donations today — including from us — to respond to urgent needs around the world. But as a small sign of our appreciation for you, we wanted to take a short break and share this video showing how familiar foods help one refugee feel more connected to home this holiday season.
John,
Food can be a powerful reminder of home. It could be a special holiday cookie recipe passed down for generations, a breakfast taco from the cart on the corner, or soup exactly the way your grandmother made it when you were sick.
For Valentyna, a refugee and mother of two from Ukraine, making varenyky provides a taste of home. The half-moon shaped dumplings remind her of her mother and grandmother, who also used to make them.
Valentyna shares her recipe in this video. I hope you'll watch and maybe even make your own varenyky! »
At this time of year, we are so grateful for all that you do to help provide children and families a sense of safety, comfort, and home. Thank you for supporting refugees and displaced people like Valentyna.
— 💛 Hank
P.S. Our end of year match deadline is tomorrow. You can help bring safety to refugees and displaced people worldwide by making a special one-time special gift to the IRC today. For a limited time, all gifts will be MATCHED 3x — meaning your support will go 3x as far to help children and families rebuild their lives! |
