Refugee families are still arriving, still seeking safety, and still needing our support. Now, more than ever, we are committed to building bridges to a hopeful future for these families. The best part is you can be a part of that bridge.

You might be wondering, "What can I do?" The answer is: more than you think. Even small actions can make a significant difference in the lives of refugee families striving to rebuild their lives in Maryland. Here are some tangible and effective ways you can continue to support them, and our mission, even in times of uncertainty:

  1. Donate: Your donations directly support Bridge Humanitarian's ability to provide subsidized housing, essential resources, and crucial support services to refugee families. Every dollar counts, whether it's a one-time gift or a recurring donation. To learn more about how you can donate, visit bridgehumanitarian.org/donate to contribute today.
  2. Spread Awareness: Share Bridge Humanitarian's mission with your network. Talk to your friends, family, and colleagues about the work we are doing! Follow Bridge Humanitarian on LinkedIn and Instagram and share our posts. The more people who know about our work, the more support we can offer to these families in need.
  3. Partner with Bridge Humanitarian: If you're part of a local business, community group, or religious organization, consider becoming a corporate partner opportunity with Bridge Humanitarian. Collaborating on fundraising events, providing in-kind donations, or offering pro bono services all make a substantial impact.
  4. Advocate for Refugees: Stay informed about the current challenges and policies affecting refugees and advocate for improved policies that support their integration and well-being. Contact your local representatives and express your support for refugee resettlement programs. Trust us, even a simple letter or phone call can make a difference!
  5. Educate Yourself: Take the time to learn more about the refugee experience. Read articles, watch documentaries, and listen to podcasts that share the stories of refugees. The more you understand, the more effectively you can advocate for their needs and support organizations like Bridge Humanitarian.

Uncertainty can breed inaction, but it doesn't have to. By taking these tangible steps, you can offer hope and practical support to refugee families as they navigate challenging times. Together, we can build bridges to a brighter future, one family at a time.
