MIDDLE TENNESSEE REFUGEES HELPERS

Middle Tennessee Refugee Help or Home Away from Home is a local community endeavor to welcome new Syrian refugee families to Middle Tennessee.
Our goal is to meet these families’ needs, ease the transition into their new lives, and give them the confidence and resources to quickly become self- sufficient in our community.
It is our belief that our American society can show the world a fine example of American humanity, generosity, love, diversity, and acceptance.
We have been helping Syrian refugees arriving in Middle Tennessee since 2015.

The family arrives and settles through an agency. We connect, visit, collect family basic information, and provide basic urgent needs.
This step may include food, personal care items, clothes, toiletries, health connections, house/neighborhood orientation, and more.
Items in this step are collected ahead in most cases. Some are purchased.
