Vive To Host Open House; Invites Community

Will Kick off Vive in a Box initiative

 Who:                     Vive, the nation’s largest refugee center

 

What:                  Invites the community for a tour and open house celebration to showcase the agency, meet refugees and learn about the Vive in a Box initiative.

                              The Vive in a Box initiative is a way for folks to connect with Vive’s mission—and refugees—by hosting a party in their homes, with their friends.

 

When:                  Saturday, June 1^st, 2013

                                2:00 pm-5:00 pm

Where:                 50 Wyoming Ave, Buffalo 14215

Why:                     Few people know that the nation’s largest refugee center is on the East Side of Buffalo. Vive typically houses and serves 100 refugees at any given time.

People want to get involved and/or volunteer. This Open House and this initiative give them a chance to do just that.

 

It has been a great few days for us at Vive. We had help from two different groups of volunteers. The folks from Keller Williams Realty painted and built shelves for us, and the folks from the Yale Alumni Club created raised bed gardens for our property. We are lucky to have such community support. If you are looking for volunteer opportunities, call us 892-4354.
