Bridge Refugee Services has an urgent message for you
A message from the Executive Director of Bridge Refugee Services
Today is World Refugee Day! We are celebrating the resilience and contributions of refugees that enrich our communities. We are thankful to the Mayors of Knoxville and Chattanooga for signing proclamations about our World Refugee Day observances.
On behalf of our Board of Directors and staff members, I am extending our gratitude to our amazing volunteers, funders, interns and all of our supporters from Knoxville, Chattanooga, Maryville, Oak Ridge, Farragut as well as other parts of the state and the country.
Our special appreciation goes to Blount County’s Baha’is community for organizing a World Refugee Day celebration today, as well as to the refugee leaders who accepted to participate and share their stories.
We extend our solidarity to refugees who are waiting to be reunited with their family members.
We stand for refugees and hope that America will continue to be the world leader in welcoming and protecting refugees.
