Journey’s End Refugee Services is a nonprofit in Buffalo, NY that has been resettling and supporting refugees in the Western New York community for 40 years. We will be speaking about our work, and the refugee community we serve at this conference with the purpose that this information will equip those in

We are also asking attendees to bring a “personal care item” for the Journey’s End Refugee Center.
