Mission:
Refugee and Immigrant Connections Spokane supports and empowers refugee and immigrant communities by providing services, fostering community bonds, and advocating for refugee and immigrant rights​ in the Inland Northwest.

Support our refugee and immigrant neighbors in Spokane 

Picture
Everyone belongs somewhere, let it be here. 

Our design reflects the heart of the people of Spokane who support refugee and immigrant communities. 
We chose to feature Spokane landmarks, the Monroe Street Bridge and Riverfront Park’s Expo ‘74 butterfly for a reason. 

When refugee and immigrant families arrive in Spokane, there is so much uncertainty to face. Much like the Monroe Street Bridge which connects multiple communities in our city, we serve as a bridge, walking alongside and providing pathways for refugee and immigrant families to find the resources, belonging, and opportunities they need to rebuild their lives and put down roots in Spokane. 
The graceful butterfly represents migration, the journey of making your way through difficult times to find a soft, welcoming space to land.

Spokane is that place. 


​Join us as we stand with our refugee and immigrant neighbors.

Proceeds will directly support the programs and services offered by Refugee and Immigrant Connections Spokane.
