US Together is a refugee resettlement agency that resettles and provides services to refugees in the Toledo-area. Some of these services include employment assistance, English as a Second Language courses, and intensive case management. All of our services have the goal of helping refugees and immigrants integrate into our community.
This year we want to take a moment to highlight our Women’s Empowerment program. The Women’s Empowerment program works with refugee women and their families to develop skills and connect them with resources in an effort to make them more self-sufficient and flourish in their own lives. We have continued to provide additional programming throughout the pandemic that empowers women to advance their education, careers, and independence even during a pandemic. We believe that if we empower the mother then we empower the entire family.
Throughout November, we shared stories from volunteers and the advisory committee to highlight why members of the community support refugees and why providing services like the Women’s Empowerment program to refugees in our community is important now more than ever. We hope these stories will inspire you to advocate for refugees and to support our work to refugees in the Toledo community.
To show our appreciation for our generous donors, we will be sending a unique US Together 13-month 2021 calendar to anyone who donates $100 or more during the month of December! These calendars feature recipes from staff in all three of our offices, showcasing the multicultural tapestry that is US Together. The calendar is also marked with dates that we know are special to our supporters, such as World Refugee Day in June!
