Your support is important now more than ever

Over the past year, the mission of the Refugee Center has become more important than ever. While our local immigrant community grows, our national immigration policy is under attack from some who label all immigrants as dangerous and undesirable people. Here at the Refugee Center, we know that immigrants enrich and contribute positively to our community every day.

In spite of the U.S. government's decrease in the number of refugees admitted to the United States, we continue to serve as a remote placement site for refugee resettlement through the U.S. Catholic Conference of Bishops. We welcomed two new families in December.

That is what we do. And if you'd like to support us, we would be very appreciative. You can donate online at ecirmac.org or by check sent to 302 South Birch Street, Urbana, Illinois 61801.

Thank you.
