Established in 2001 by the United Nations, World Refugee Day (June 20) is dedicated to the recognition of the challenges faced by refugees worldwide and to the incredible contributions they've made to their communities.
This is a very special week for Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service, which has been dedicated to helping New Americans find refuge on our shores for more than 80 years. We're proud to join together to celebrate the many contributions of refugees, from the work of refugee doctors and nurses on the front lines during the coronavirus pandemic to the young Somali refugees leading Black Lives Matter protests in their communities.
See below for five ways you can join in the celebration.
