Pilar’s Stands with Refugees and Immigrants

Washtenaw County Afghanistan Refugees Relief Benefit for Washtenaw Jewish Family Servises

Sunday, March 27, 2022 at the Zion Lutheran Church in Ann Arbor Michigan.

This fundraiser provided financial support to the blessed work of Jewish Family Services of Washtenaw County in their efforts to provide urgently needed local support for the newly displaced Afghanistan Refugees that were beginning new lives right here in Washtenaw County. All of the services, actions, and Heart Felt love Sylvia saw in the work of Jewish Family Services are also the same values that are true and dear to her Heart.

$10,000 in proceeds from this event went to Jewish Family Services of Washtenaw County in their efforts to provide financial aid needed in your services for displaced Afghanistan refugees.

“Pilar's Stands with Refugees and Immigrants,” was a resounding success. It would not have been possible without the generosity of all of our loving friends in the community, artisans, musicians, and local businesses who gave their time and resources in support of these organizations:

Michigan Immigrant Rights Center
The Michigan Immigrant Rights Center (MIRC) is a legal resource center for Michigan's immigrant communities. MIRC works to build a thriving Michigan where immigrant communities experience equity and belonging.

Michigan Support Circle
Michigan Support Circle is a grassroots organization created to help support the reunification of families by providing rides, housing, clothing and other essentials once the families have been released.

Washtenaw Congregational Sanctuary
Washtenaw Congregational Sanctuary is an interfaith coalition of congregations and unaffiliated individuals throughout Washtenaw County who have joined together to support immigrants and their families in our community.

Washtenaw Interfaith Council for Immigrant Rights

Thank you, everyone, for your love and support in all that the Pilar’s Foundation is working to accomplish both locally and around the world.
