Three easy ways to support refugee families in Iowa
This #BlackFriday and #GivingTuesday, join our mission by giving! Your generosity supports essential refugee-led programs and services that expand opportunities for refugees in Iowa.
Our programs serve parents like Eh Doh Wah, 34, a father who was struggling to put food on the table. With no income, high language barriers, and three young kids to feed, Wah’s friend recognized the severity of the situation and connected him with EMBARC for urgent support.
Navigator Iris Tun stepped in to help Wah manage the emergency. Tun met with Wah to help him set goals, make appointments, and provide interpretation. By the end of the summer, Wah had secured a new job and was able to put food on the table for his family. The children were also enrolled in school and had culturally appropriate childcare.
Wah is an example of the change our community members can make in their own lives, with the help of a Navigator like Tun.
Donations to EMBARC will support our ongoing advocacy efforts against systemic barriers that hold families back from reaching their full potential as friends, neighbors and community leaders. Your support is a gift to each individual we support.
