Dear Friend,

With your help, LIRS has resettled over 11,000 Afghans and, together, we’re still working to meet their needs.

I’m sure you’ll agree that finding a job that does more than just pay the bills is critical for success. But refugees and immigrants often take the first jobs they can get — usually low-wage positions. They face barriers to gainful employment for which they’re qualified and then become trapped in cycles of poverty.

Here’s where you can help. Your gift to LIRS supports all our work, including New American Cities — a program that provides newcomers training, education, and connections to meaningful career opportunities. You can help here >>>

And it works! Fueled by your generosity, our pilot program showed these results:

As you can see, this is an excellent investment. Individuals benefit from higher-paying jobs, families have more stability, and employers fill gaps, while communities see increased tax revenue and spending.

So will you please support refugees and immigrants by giving to LIRS today? Your generosity can help new neighbors secure fulfilling work to support themselves and their families.

Your Gift is Greatly Appreciated!

And remember, your gift will be used wisely and effectively. Thanks for your support!
