This holiday season, we want you to partner with the International Rescue Committee in Missoula to show refugees of all faiths the warmth of our community!

Our goal is to raise enough money to give refugee families direct cash assistance this year. If we can reach our goal, each refugee adult will be gifted a prepaid VISA gift card of $50. Direct cash assistance allows refugees the freedom to make purchases based on their own needs. The IRC's primary goal is to give the power of choice back to our refugee clients; please help us reach this goal with this meaningful holiday gift!

There are three ways you can help us reach our goal: 

1. Donate directly to this campaign. Just click the "Donate Now" button and contribute directly towards our goal with your own personally significant gift.

2. Use your network. If you want to do more you can "Join the Team" and create your own personal fundraiser! Share it with your friends and family on Facebook and through email, the contributions you collect will go toward our overall goal.

3. Dontate VISA gift cards directly to the IRC Missoula office and we will give them to refugees. Please donate gift cards in denominations of $25 or $50.

Each family will also recieve a handmade stocking (see the photos in this campaign) with their card and a few extra sweet treats.

These gifts are aimed at empowering parents, but don't worry, this year, refugee youth will benefit from a Giving Tree by Saint Francis Xavier Church! 

Thank you in advance for your efforts to make refugees welcome in our community and share with them the holiday spirit of Missoula!
