Open Arms for Refugees Inc.
Open Arms for Refugees Inc. is a nonprofit organization dedicated to assisting refugees in integrating into their new communities in the United States, particularly in the greater Westchester area.
Mission and Activities
The organization works by bringing together neighbors, houses of worship, community organizations, and key service providers. Its mission is to welcome and integrate federally-sponsored refugees, providing them with essential support such as housing, furniture, clothing, employment assistance, medical care, schools, English as a Second Language (ESL) classes, and temporary government services like the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).
Programs and Partnerships
Open Arms for Refugees collaborates with federally-sponsored resettlement agencies and diverse local organizations to ensure comprehensive support for refugees and their families. The organization aims to help refugees navigate the challenges of their new home over a period of three to six months after arrival. This support includes connecting them with necessary resources and services to rebuild their lives in the community.
History and Development
Open Arms for Refugees began its operations in 2021, inspired by the rescue of an individual from Afghanistan. Since its inception, the organization has grown significantly, expanding its scope beyond initial local efforts. It has helped resettle numerous refugee families in the region, emphasizing community integration and support.
Funding and Expansion
The organization benefits from a 2:1 matching grant from the David Swope Fund, which aids in expanding its efforts to welcome and resettle more refugee families. This financial support enhances Open Arms' capacity to provide crucial assistance to refugees in need, fostering a welcoming environment in the community.
