In observance of the holiday, our offices will be closed today and will resume normal business hours on Monday.

"Freedom's Eve" on January 1, 1863, marked the first Watch Night services where African Americans gathered in anticipation of the Emancipation Proclamation. The Emancipation Proclamation declared all enslaved people in the Confederate States legally free at midnight. Implementation was limited in areas still under Confederate control, delaying freedom for many, particularly in Texas. On June 19, 1865, Union troops arrived in Galveston, Texas with the news that the more than 250,000 enslaved Black people in the state were free. This day came to be known as , a time to celebrate, gather as a family, reflect on the past and look to the future. β€οΈπŸ’›πŸ’šπŸ–€

Thank you, Daniel Morely, for stopping by our offices and donating some super sweet 3D printed fidget devices! These devices can help people find a physical way to regulate emotions, manage stress, and stay connected to the present moment. They're a great grounding tool, giving the brain something tangible to focus on.

Thank you for taking the time to meet some of our team and bringing such a useful tool to our clients! πŸ©΅πŸ’›

Everyone deserves safety and a place to belong.

Refugee services have halted across many places in the nation, but we are still receiving youth in need of a safe and stable home. Youth in our Unaccompanied Refugee Minors (URM) program are already here in our communities and still need caring foster families.

A safe home can make a lasting difference in a young person's life as they navigate a new country, culture, and future. Have you ever considered becoming a foster parent?

Reach out to learn more about how YOU can be that difference: [email protected] or call (509) 747-8224.
