Join the Movement
Miry's List is a nonprofit organization made up of neighbors and friends dedicated to welcoming new arrival refugee families into our community through inspired crowdsourcing solutions.
Miry's List provides a mechanism for people to directly help new arrival refugee families with the incredible challenge of resettlement in the United States. With practical support and joyful friends waiting to welcome them, resettling families are set up to thrive through Miry's List's wrap-around programs that extend long beyond government support.
We believe that intentional, individualized, and intense support provided to resettling refugee families in those difficult first 12-18 months leads to better outcomes for the community at large.
Miry's List's work is an investment—in families, human beings, and new Americans. It's about investing in them upon arrival because the need is so great, and the impact is so real.

A Message from Miry
One of the most important points for American people to understand about resettling refugees is this:
Though the refugee crisis is happening on a global scale, the resettling of families in our communities is a local issue. And it's an issue that each of us has the opportunity to participate in and positively impact. We must move our focus from the scale of the crisis and into the mindset of "How can I help the families resettling in my community?"
Miry's List is committed to providing support and assistance to refugees who have fled their homes due to conflict, persecution, and violence. As we look to the future, we envision a world where resettling refugees have access to the resources and support needed to rebuild their lives and thrive in their new communities. Thank you for your participation in helping us to realize our vision.
Thank you for your friendship.
