South Windsor Refugee Alliance
We heard the cry...
Then the small voice within...
And now we CAN LOOK BACK and be proud that we helped a family get back on their feet after a terrible ordeal. Many were part of the magic.
Individuals, churches, synagogues, mosques and non-faith-based community groups are answering the call to help refugees resettle throughout Connecticut.
While SWRA is on hiatus, there are many opportunities for individuals to help.

Co-sponsors also enroll children in school, facilitate job searches, and perform other necessary tasks.
