What we at CRIS have accomplished over the past 30 years is extraordinary.  We've touched tens of thousands of lives and walked beside refugees and immigrants to support and welcome them as they became our neighbors and friends.  Anyone who visits us and stops by my office can tell from the joyous photos on the wall how we have celebrated new refugee arrivals. I have cherished every one that I was a part of.  But now, at this very critical juncture, where refugees and immigrants and the organizations that serve them like CRIS are under attack, we need to be laser-focused on our future, on our long-term sustainability.  Our Enduring Welcome Fund was established for this very reason. Please consider supporting CRIS through my fundraiser so that we can continue to serve our community well into the future.  Thank you!
