Welcoming and Supporting Families

Make Your Holidays About Giving ♥️

BREAKING NEWS ⚡️ You can make twice the impact for newly arrived families, thanks to an extraordinary $67,000 matching gift from Andy Freeland, Ashley and David Kramer, The Chianese Family, The Maurice Amado Foundation, and The Shapiro Foundation. 

Every donation to this campaign - and all of our Friendsgiving peer fundraising pages - will be automatically doubled until we reach our matching goal. 👌🏽

Our strength comes from neighbors helping neighbors - that's the enduring power of community. Through 2024 Friendsgiving with Miry's List, we're coming together to support 350 more families next year, fostering a sense of community and gratitude that transcends any political climate. 🤝

Remember that mix of excitement and uncertainty when you're somewhere new? For refugee families arriving in the U.S., those feelings are intensified by the trauma of fleeing violence and leaving everything behind. Your participation in Friendsgiving helps transform their experience when you join our community of neighbors welcoming families to their new homes. 🏠

• 1,300+ families supported through comprehensive 12-month programs
• 280,000+ Americans engaged in welcoming their new neighbors
• Building bridges between communities that last for generations

This grassroots welcome movement proves that when communities come together, we create lasting change beyond any election cycle. Our 12-month program provides essential resources, friendship, and support to help families thrive in their new home - today, tomorrow, and for years to come.

Create your own fundraising page by clicking "Join Campaign," set a goal, and share why Miry's List matters to you. Perfect option for:

Transform your holiday gathering into a meaningful act of kindness. We'll provide:

Explore another culture with your family by serving special recipes shared by chefs and talk about becoming welcomers in your community. Invite family and chosen family to participate in your Friendsgiving fundraiser and come together in celebration of our shared values. 🌟

Transform welcome from a moment into a movement:

• Make a one-time gift (it will get matched until we reach the first $67,000!)
• Become a monthly supporter to help families thrive all year

Together, we'll reach $250,000. Give now while the first $67,000 donated is doubled! 🙌🏽

At Miry's List, we're creating lasting change through the power of community. Our proven model of welcome connects refugee families with the resources, friendship, and support they need to rebuild their lives. Every family we welcome enriches our communities and strengthens our shared future.

With your help, we'll reach our $250,000 goal and welcome 350 more families in 2025. ✨ Whether you host a dinner, start a fundraiser, or become a monthly supporter, you're joining a movement that proves the most powerful changes happen when neighbors help neighbors.

Your dedication to welcome shows that the most powerful changes happen at the community level. Regardless of political shifts or who holds office, our community will continue to welcome and support new arrival families, creating a foundation of welcome that grows stronger every day. 💫
