About the event
We are thrilled to extend a warm invitation to you to join us in celebrating a remarkable milestone – 10 years of The Welcome Network's dedicated service to newcomers in NW Indiana and South Chicago. This special occasion promises to be more than just a gathering; it's a tribute to a decade of shared journeys, stories, and unwavering support for those who have arrived at our doorstep seeking a new beginning.
Celebration Details:
Mark your calendars for an evening filled with joy, community spirit, and a delightful dinner. We will be unveiling the full details of this exciting event very soon, so please stay tuned.
Our Unwavering Mission:
The purpose of our gathering is twofold. Firstly, to commemorate the impactful work of The Welcome Network in providing legal clinic assistance, support in asylum application processes, and immediate aid to newly-arrived families. Secondly, but equally important, we aim to fortify the foundation for our future endeavors. This includes the acquisition of a second Welcome Home facility – a sanctuary that echoes our core belief in offering solace and a sense of belonging.
A Goal That Calls for Unity:
We have set an ambitious goal to raise $300,000. Achieving this will symbolize a significant leap forward in our ongoing mission to welcome the stranger among us. We believe this goal is not just a number but a testament to the generosity and commitment of our community. Through sponsorship, engagement, and prayer, we invite you to be an integral part of this collective effort.
As we look back on a decade of heartfelt memories and forward to a future of hope and inclusion, your presence and support are invaluable to us.
Together, let's continue to build a world where every stranger becomes a neighbor.
With you in welcoming the stranger,Â
