The beginning of the holiday season is traditionally highlighted by our annual Adopt-A-Family service project with the International Rescue Committee! For the fifth consecutive year our Meridian: Global Young Professionals will host the Meridian Holiday Champagne Social and Fundraiser to support the project. The Thursday, December 4, social at the Tower Club will help these newcomers settle into their North Texas homes. The funds are used to acquire traditional household items and winter clothing – a “start-over kit” for people embarking on new lives in the planet’s most generous nation. This year, we are excited to be raising money to assist two families that were forced out of their home country of Iraq.

The $15 event price will be used to purchase basic household items on our family holiday wish-list. You may donate online or at the Champagne Social. Thanks to special support of the event, all proceeds and donations will go to these new residents.
