Miry's List Turns 10: A Celebration of Welcome

  • Junior High LA 603 Brand Blvd. Glendale, CA USA (map)

Join us as we celebrate 10 years of welcoming our new neighbors at Miry's List.

Ten years ago, one family needed help.

What began as a simple wishlist for a newly arrived refugee family has grown into a nationwide community of welcome. Together, we have supported more than 2,500 resettling families, mobilized over 286,000 community members, and built meaningful connections across all 50 states.

Now it's time to celebrate.

Join Miry's List supporters, volunteers, newcomer families, partners, and friends for an evening of storytelling, connection, food, music, and reflection as we honor a decade of helping refugee families transform arrival into belonging.

Celebrating Our Community Helpers

As part of the evening, we will present the 2026 Miry's List Volunteer Awards, recognizing community members who have made extraordinary contributions of time, talent, creativity, and care in support of our mission.

From wishlist ambassadors and family friends to volunteer leaders and behind-the-scenes champions, these honorees embody the spirit of welcome that has powered Miry's List for the past decade. We look forward to celebrating the people whose actions have transformed kindness into belonging for thousands of newly arrived families.

Why This Moment Matters

The landscape for refugee and immigrant families continues to change, but the power of community remains constant. For ten years, Miry's List has helped people connect with their neighbors, build belonging, and create pathways for families to thrive.

This anniversary celebration is both a milestone and a reminder: the next decade of welcome is ours to build.
