We urgently need to raise funds to support newly arriving refugees. Families are arriving every day, and we must act now to ensure they are supported today and in the immediate future as residents of Detroit. The Network’s goal is to raise $1,125,811 to provide services and support for hundreds of refugees resettling in the city of Detroit.
Help Build This Critical Network
The Detroit Refugee Network was created by Samaritas to build a strong coalition of corporation, community and civic leaders to work alongside Samaritas to welcome and serve refugee families so they can be self-sufficient and thrive as healthy, contributing members of our shared community.
Join the First Lady of Detroit, Dr. Sonia Hassan, as she co-chairs with Kelli Dobner, Samaritas’ Chief Advancement Officer, this coalition of community, corporate and civic leaders, answering the call to welcome hundreds of those escaping war and unspeakable trauma.
