Blacksburg Refugee Partnership provides help and hope for refugees rebuilding their lives in southwest Virginia

 

Globally, 26 million people have been forced to flee countries torn apart by war, violence, and tragedy. They’ve had to abandon their homes. So we welcome them to ours, in Blacksburg, Virginia.

Blacksburg Refugee Partnership is an organization run entirely by community volunteers who, like you, believe all humans have the right to a safe, peaceful, happy home. We connect displaced families to the resources and ongoing support they need to successfully plant roots here in America.

 

With no overhead or administration costs, all of your contributions to Blacksburg Refugee Partnership directly help refugee families thrive in southwest Virginia.

From June 1–26, we’re raising funds to support refugee families.

 
 

So far, we’ve helped 90 individuals—42 adults and 48 children—from countries including Afghanistan, Syria, Libya, Sudan, and the Democratic Republic of Congo settle into new homes, find employment, learn English, enroll in school, navigate healthcare and public transportation, earn driver’s licenses, and become active members of the community. Read about some of our families’ journeys and what BRP does to help in the Roanoke Times.

 
 

Dedicated BRP volunteers teach, tutor, mentor, play, translate, drive, coach, and celebrate. Whatever time you have to contribute, there is a way for you to help.

In 2021, in the wake of the Taliban takeover of Aghanistan, Blacksburg Refugee Partnership welcomed several new families to Blacksburg. We need your help to create a home for them.
