Though our physical offices have closed, IRIS is still here! We’re shifting to a mix of remote services and satellite locations in order to continue providing services to our clients and the broader community. We’re adapting, staying rooted in New Haven, and continuing to serve refugees and immigrants across Connecticut. Our mission hasn’t changed—only the way we show up. 💛 📖 Read the post for details on where we’re working, how we’re serving, and what’s next. #IRISCT #RefugeesWelcome #CommunityStrong #StillHere #Immigrants #NewHaven #Connecticut (fb)

IRIS and local partner Community Soup Kitchen of New Haven (CSK) have teamed up to provide food and essential services for the local community in an effort to both expand the reach of our organizations, while simultaneously cutting costs. In a recent interview with the New Haven Independent, IRIS' operations manager Ana Cardenas, Executive Director Maggie Mitchell Salem, and CSK’s Winston Sutherland and Greg DePetris discuss how their shared focus on reducing hunger brought them together. You can read more about the partnership, as well as how IRIS and the local community have gathered to support IRIS as it transitions to remote work at the link below. #Community #Refugees #NewHaven #Connecticut #immigrantsarewelcome (fb)
