Mentors and clients at Refugee Resources
Providing support for refugees in our neighborhood may feel like a daunting task, but you can do it simply with your order of a Front Porch Burger and Salted Caramel Shake (or anything else on Grub’s menu) May 21-23 at Grub Burger Bar.
Refugee Resources was founded in 2006 by Lake Highlands resident Alysa Marx to acculturate, empower and educate refugee families adjusting to life in America. Located in the Vickery Meadow neighborhood which draws refugees from all over the world, the group teaches English, hosts Family Fun Nights and helps children learn to read, among several other programs.
Simply tell the folks at Grub you support Refugee Resources, and a percentage of your ticket will go back to the nonprofit.
Grub is located at 4925 Greenville Avenue near University.
