Help Kolot Friends Sponsor a Refugee in NYC

We are Kolot Friends, a group of members of the synagogue Kolot Chayeinu who have been brought together by a passion for justice and a desire to give others the opportunities that were given to our immigrant parents and grandparents. Our mission is to sponsor one or more refugees through the Welcome Corps, and to give them a chance to start a new life here in New York. We'll need funds to support them as they transition into their new community, so we're here to raise those funds from our own communities.

All donations will go directly toward supporting the refugee's cost of living in their first 6 months as they adjust to life in NYC. This includes:

We are also accepting donations of clothing & furnishings, so please reach out to one of the organizers if you'd like to donate something directly!
