Investing in

ALL OF US

2021 Annual Fund

The Dalai Lama says “Human potential is the same for all.” We agree. So we invest our time, skills and resources in those who are much more like us than they are different. This investment benefits not only those individuals, but our entire community. All of us.

Did you know it costs $430 a month on average to own and operate a vehicle in Virginia? Part of our work at International Neighbors is to equip our resettling neighbors with the knowledge and resources to be able to acclimate to life in the United States. Soon, we’ll begin offering classes on personal finance, auto lending and family budgeting. We love helping neighbors move from survive to thrive!

Feature Friday! Meet A2Z Autos in Charlottesville, one of our amazing community partners. Not only are many of our clients employed at A2Z Autos, the dealership also provides discounted vehicles and auto repair to our resettling neighbors!

A2Z Autos has also kindly offered that any IN donor or volunteer will receive a discount on auto repair work when they mention our organization. Their goal is to grow as a company to help employ even more of our clients. Now THAT'S being a great neighbor!

Mission Monday: we want our resettling refugee and SIV neighbors to truly believe that Charlottesville is their home and that they are welcomed, belong & can flourish here. It’s what drives us—staff, volunteers, community partners, clients, donors—every day to do what we do. Like if you agree!

Months after resettlement in Charlottesville, many

Months after resettlement in Charlottesville, many families are still living in hotels. We wanted to be able to give these families an opportunity to have fun, relax, and connect with others in the International Neighbors community through a weekly activity time - Craft Connections!

Each Tuesday afternoon, we gather for crafts, games, and conversation in the lobbies of hotels where families are living - as a way of showing our support and creating friendships. You know, being Great Neighbors💙

If you are interested in helping with a Craft Connections gathering and have gone through our volunteer training, please reach out for a sign up link! Otherwise, please fill out our Volunteer Form on the site to get involved as an IN Volunteer!
