Sugar House Coffee has partnered with the International Rescue Committee (IRC) in Salt Lake City to highlight new American entrepreneurs on the first Thursday of every month!

This August marked the one-year anniversary of the collapse of the government in Afghanistan, and the beginning of emergency response efforts to evacuate and resettle more than 120,000 Afghan citizens. Hear from Mohammad, a humanitarian parolee!

On February 23, more than a dozen speakers testified before the Georgia House Higher Education Committee in favor of House Bill 932, a bill which would extend in-state tuition at Georgia public colleges and universities to refugees immediately upon resettlement, as opposed to the current one-year wait period. The bill would also apply to individuals who risked their lives to support the U.S. military overseas, including our Afghan allies who were evacuated last summer.

The IRC in Phoenix is committed to supporting newly arrived refugees on their journey from harm to home. As part of that commitment, we provide refugees with the basics they will need to start rebuilding their lives here in the U.S. Join our efforts by gathering much-needed in-kind donations to assist newly arrived refugee families and individuals as they work to regain control of their future and positively integrate into our community.
