Our News


Thanks to everyone who continues to support us and help our efforts to resettle as many Ukrainian refugees as we can! What we’ve accomplished over the past months:

  • Welcomed and served over 500 people.
  • Established partnerships with 2 companies and placed 3 recent refugees into not just new jobs, but new careers.
  • Helped 5 older refugees get into a federally funded on-the-job skill training program.
  • Hired 4 Ukrainian teachers and offered more English courses (ESL) on-line five times a week at multiple levels.
  • Bought and distributed laptops for everyone to study English.
  • Organized free monthly events for everyone: 4th of July family picnic, Theaters, Boston Ballet, Symphony, walking tours of Boston, yoga classes, sing-alongs and gifts to new babies!
  • Helped with TPS applications.
  • And we continue to welcome new families to Massachusetts today!

Our team is as strong as ever and we work 24/7 to help anyone who needs us!
