It was amazing to gather with over 500 community members this past Saturday, December 7, 2024 to officially celebrate the unveiling of the Refugee & Immigrant Cultural Hub (RICH) site plan! 

RICH will be a transformative space for San Diego's refugee and immigrant communities to create our own opportunities, support our well-being, and change how newcomers are welcomed in our city. 

The campus will offer a range of essential services including: 

  • 🏘️ transitional and affordable housing
  • 📚 job training
  • 🍅 food security
  • 🩺 health services
  • 🫂 spaces for community gathering and cultural connection

Stay tuned for updates as we continue to build and raise funds for this visionary project.

Thank you all for being a part of this journey!
