Will you stand in the gap?

Refugee and immigrant families across Wisconsin need your support. Hundreds are still building their lives today. Will you continue to be a community of welcome for them?

Today, it is estimated that over 120 million people around the world have been forced to leave their home. More than 47 million of these people are children.

These families are fleeing for their lives, praying for their safety and desperately seeking refuge. If you're like us, you believe that everyone deserves safety and security, a place to call home. And you want to do something to help.

The good news is, you can.
