We have much to celebrate in this Valley! Since 1988, the warm welcome of local residents and partnership with Church World Service has resulted in 4000+ persons able to resettle here after being uprooted by persecution and violence in other parts of the world. Our community has grown and changed during these decades and CWS is preparing for our common future.
Join us for our first ever fundraiser gala! We’ll enjoy an evening of food (Mashita, A&A Kabob, and El Sol), wine, storytelling, and a shared vision for welcoming refugees and immigrants to the community.
Dress Code: Business Casual
Individual tickets = $75
Tables of 8 = $600
