Taste of the World 2020 – We need you now more than ever

Each year at this time, Refugees Northwest comes together to honor and celebrate the diversity of culture, tradition, and resilience our multicultural neighbors bring to our communities. We immerse ourselves in the beauty of their homelands – their music, dancing, food – at our annual event, Taste of the World, in celebration of World Refugee Day.

Click here for more information about Taste of the World 2020, and how you can help our clients stabilize during COVID-19.
