The Community Foundation is here to assist them have the resources they need to achieve their goals.” – Ann Siciliano, Director of Program Services at TCFHR.

Village to Village, a grant recipient of the Fall 2021 grants used the money for their Welcome Home Refugee Project. “The grant V2V received in the Fall of 2021 has allowed our refugee families just arriving to the states and our community to receive not only the basics required by the government but a few extra needed items as well. We have tried to place vacuums in every home that had carpet as well as tea kettles. Vacuums are needed to help teach families proper cleaning and tea kettles are simply extra as most of the families coming in drink tea, not coffee.” – Heidi Dove, Executive Director of Village to Village.
