Miry’s List Unveils Virtual Supper Club Event to Support Refugee Families During COVID-19

World Refugee Day 2020 presents unprecedented challenges for this vulnerable population.

Miry’s List, a nonprofit organization serving families who have recently resettled in the United State as refugees from countries such as Syria, Afghanistan, Iran and Iraq, is pleased to announce a unique 2020 World Refugee Day Awards celebration. The goal of the June 20, 2020 event is to raise $50,000 to help 100 more refugee families that have urgent needs due to COVID-19.

“The resettling families we serve, who are often low-income or otherwise part of high-risk populations, are uniquely vulnerable in the current COVID-19 crisis,” said Miry’s List Founder & Executive Director Miry Whitehill.

“Our COVID-19 response program is focused on two critical areas: providing supplies such as masks, gloves, bedding and cleaning supplies to families to safely isolate in their homes as well as providing devices for students to access their classrooms remotely,” said Whitehill. “We have been so grateful to partners like NorthStar Moving Company who donated 1,000 non-medical face masks and gloves at the exact moment we needed them. Now we’re calling on our entire global community of partners, donors, volunteers, supporters and allies to pitch in to help us reach our goal.”
