Hope for the Holidays
Make the holidays magical for New American families
Join us in sharing messages of welcome and hope!
The holidays can be a magical time of celebration for many, but this year, thousands of immigrant children and families are left without the resources they need and anxious about their futures in the United States.
Global Refuge (formerly Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service) is proud to announce the launch of our Hope for the Holidays™ program, collecting cards and sharing holiday hope with newcomers in the United States.
Want to make an even bigger impact? We encourage you to gather your church or community groups following the instructions in the Hope for the Holidays Toolkit. Group cards can be submitted anytime between October 31-December 5!
Last year, volunteers distributed thousands of cards to immigrant families across the country. Thank you for sharing hope and joy with some of our newest neighbors this holiday season.

Once you write and decorate holiday cards for newcomers using the Hope for the Holidays™ toolkit, submit your electronic coversheet to receive information on where to send your cards. And be sure to share about Hope for the Holidays™ with friends and family on social media!
Can't make it to the mailbox but still want to share a message of hope? Check out our new online submission form!
