Host A Shelter Tour

Lauren Hanson / Development Officer, Houston, Texas

In honor of World Refugee Day, June 20th, the entire month of June we are inviting our Houston community to bring their people on a shelter tour. There, you’ll learn more about the refugee crises, encounter what a refugee family’s home might look like, and learn how We Can Help bring hope, stability, and opportunity for the world’s most vulnerable families.
