The most valuable way to help a refugee family in your community is to be friend. Your welcome and friendship can go a long way in helping them feel at home.

Invite some refugees to your class or to a community meeting to share their experiences. Listen to what they went through before coming to New Hampshire. Find out what their lives were like before they became refugees and what they dream of today.

Contact the refugee resettlement agency in your area if you would like to make a donation or help in the resettlement efforts of a refugee family.

Know who the refugees are in your community.

If interested in volunteering, please contact Abigail Stoutimore at Lutheran Social Services at (603) 224-8111.
