Thinking about year-end donations at Good Food, the tendency is to veer toward hospitality workers and hunger. But there is one group that is especially important not to forget in 2020 — recent refugees who made it into the U.S. despite extraordinarily diminished immigration policy. Miry’s List is the brainchild of Miry Whitehill. Hers was a simple and effective idea to get resources directly to new arrivals.
This week, we're joined by Miry Whitehill, the founder of Miry’s List, who stops by to tell us how she has helped settle refugee families from Iran, Syria, Afghanistan and elsewhere. She also explains how doing a mitzvah will make you feel better, and that instead of living by the philosophy of “fake it 'til you make it," you need to “be it 'til you are it!"
As the Founder and Executive Director of Miry's List, Miry Whitehill and her team have helped over 350 refugee families settle into their new lives in America and provided them with the resources, and support they need to thrive. Miry's journey of purpose and connection is about the bonds we all share as human beings, and the simple yet powerful difference we can make with a single act of kindness.
For Jeff Weiner, CEO of LinkedIn, compassion plays a vital role in the workplace.
