Volunteer: Listening, Learning, and Sharing Our Immigrant Neighbor's ExperiencesJoin us for dinner and conversation as we come together to celebrate our shared humanity. Our immigrant neighbors, who make up 41% of the residents in Santa Clara County, will share their personal journeys, and in small groups we will reflect on their dreams, challenges, and contributions. Given today's political climate, hearing these stories will be compelling, and the ensuing table conversations even more memorable. You will all be invited to share your thoughts and to write a card to let our immigrant neighbors know they belong! To conclude the evening, we'll work together on a hands-on project, assembling cleaning kits for refugee families in need who have resettled in Silicon Valley. Evening Schedule: 5:30 - 6:00pm - Dinner (provided at no charge) 6:00 - 7:30pm - Table discussion and Panel 7:30 - 8:00pm - Hands on service project Location: Creekside Center Program: Community Forums Join us for dinner and conversation as we come together to celebrate our shared humanity.
