Karen Organization of Minnesota Van Drive

Each week, staff at the Karen Organization of Minnesota (KOM) drive 100-200 miles to help over 40 Karen and other refugees from Burma get to job interviews, appointments, English classes, community gardens, and much more.  Without this service, many newly arrived refugees would be unable to access these vital resources that help them become more self-sufficient and more connected to the community. 

KOM currently has one minivan that is shared between all 8 of its programs.  The minivan only seats 7 passengers, forcing KOM staff to make multiple trips and limiting the number of refugees they can serve.  You can help KOM use gas more efficiently and serve more refugees by contributing to help KOM purchase a 15-passenger van!  Your donation is 100% tax-deductible and will literally go a long way in connecting refugees from Burma to many resources in their new community.

Ta blut doe mah (thank you very much) for your support!
