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.

STEP ONE
-
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.
