Holiday Wish 2022 Gift Distribution
2022-10-28 08:00 - 17:00 UTC
Because of the backlogs in the immigration system, clients are separated from their families for even longer periods of time. Clients must wait even longer for their applications to be processed, which means they must wait even longer to bring relatives to the US or visit relatives in their home country. Now, their support system here is more important than ever. HRI’s Holiday Wish program gives our clients the ability to celebrate the holidays with family – and in doing so celebrate their unity and love – without the financial stressors that often come along with the holiday season.
.
.
This is why HRI and the Social Services Department want to make sure our clients have the resources to celebrate without any stressors that usually arise during this time of the year! We want to continue our Holiday Wish Program to bring holiday cheer and joy.
.
.
Gift distribution begins 12/5.

Holiday Wish 2022
2022-11-01 08:00 - 2022-12-09 17:00 UTC
At HRI, the holiday season is celebrated in various ways, but a common theme amongst all client households is spending time with family and loved ones. HRI family structures vary from clients and programs. For example, KH doesn’t have any blood relatives in the US, but spends holidays with his two closest friends that welcomed him into this country. VB is a single mom of four children, who celebrates Christmas with her children who depend on her and vice versa. MT celebrates the holidays with her aunt, uncle, and cousins, but makes sure to give her brother in her home country a call every year on Christmas day.
This is why HRI and the Social Services Department want to make sure our clients have the resources to celebrate without any stressors that usually arise during this time of the year! We want to continue our Holiday Wish Program to bring holiday cheer and joy.
Social Services will distribute gifts and gift cards . Want to donate? Contact SocialServices@HRIonline.org
