When a person arrives in the United States as a refugee, they have material needs: housing, food, transportation, healthcare, and employment, to name a few. Social needs are less visible but equally important: people need community to thrive and experience emotional and physical well-being. Hello Neighbor’s mission is to support refugees by pairing them with neighbors dedicated to building ongoing, supportive relationships.
