2023 United Thank Offering Grant Recipient - The Great EpisGOpal Race — Episcopal Migration Ministries: Neighbor to Neighbor

The Great EpisGOpal Race — Episcopal Migration Ministries: Neighbor to Neighbor: $8,152.10

Neighbor to Neighbor is a program that provides training and support to congregations and groups sponsoring asylum seekers. Individuals seeking asylum do not receive the same benefits and services as refugees who are assisted through the U.S. Refugee Resettlement program and are at risk of being held in detention centers.

This year’s focus for grant applications was projects addressing the worldwide incarceration crisis, specifically preventative programs and intervention, prisoner support outreach, prison reform work, or post-prison reentry.
