Join the Windy City Friends of Refugees for a night at the movies on Wednesday June 14, 2017. This is your chance to check out the newly renovated Davis Theater and Carbon Arc Bar & Board while seeing a documentary about the experience of refugees.  

The Windy City Friends of Refugees are co-sponsoring a refugee family with Refugee One.  Funds raised from this event will help a refugee family resettle in Chicago this fall.  

In addition to providing rent and expenses for the family's first six months, our group has committed to help by:
- Welcoming the family at OHare and providing a hot meal upon their arrival.
- Setting up the family's new apartment with furniture,  groceries, household essentials, and toiletries.
- Visiting weekly for the first six months to provide encouragement, language and job search assistance, tutoring for school-aged children, and help adjusting to a new city and culture.  We'll ensure they have the basics they need, and plan outings to experience Chicago.


Don't forget to bring some extra cash on the night of the movie! Tickets for a 50/50 Raffle (with a few extra prizes) will be available.  $5/ticket or 5 tickets for $20.
