Donate to Welcome Wheels- Independent Transportation for Refugees
December 4- 9, 2024
Transportation helps our clients in every way, from employment, medical appointments, ESL and more. This campaign will continue until our goal is met!
This campaign supports our Transportation Fund to help purchase Uber trips. As our clients become more independent, bus passes and electric scooters will help them be self-sufficient.
Help us keep our new neighbors move toward their bright future and give to Welcome Wheels!
