#GivingTuesday and #NYGivesDay are held on Tuesday, Nov. 29, to celebrate charitable giving! On this day, generous people come together with one purpose in mind: to give to charitable causes that are meaningful to them. We hope that you will honor us with your #Giving Tuesday/#NYGivesDay gift as we “affirm the dignity of each person and every faith community and work to create relationships and understanding among us.”
Please click on this link to learn how InterFaith Works’ Center for New Americans and El-Hindi Center for Dialogue provided the support needed to help one young Congolese refugee begin a new life in Central New York. Bonke Rugira, who began 5th grade in the U.S. without knowing English, recently graduated as valedictorian of his high school class!
We would be honored by your support on this special day of giving, and we promise to be faithful stewards of your gift. Please follow this link to make an online donation.
On behalf of all those whose lives we change, thank you!
