🌟 Celebrating 3 Years of REACT DC: A Journey from Crisis to Community 🌟 As August marks the third anniversary of REACT DC, we reflect on our incredible journey that began in the wake of the fall of Kabul in 2021. The scenes of the humanitarian crisis unfolded on our screens, and like many, we felt a profound urgency to help. Our CEO/Founder took immediate action, filing paperwork to assist with home set-ups for newly arrived Afghans. A heartfelt social media call for volunteers soon connected her with our COO, and together, they orchestrated the setup of two homes in just ten days, welcoming 10 people. What started as a response to a crisis quickly grew into a nationwide movement. Our dedicated team, composed of military service members, spouses, and dependents, leveraged their expertise to navigate complex systems and meet the needs of new arrivals. As the word spread, our grassroots effort transformed into a vital support network, fielding calls for assistance from across the country and gaining over 1500 followers. The demand for our services highlighted the gaps left by funding cuts and the pandemic’s impact on resettlement agencies. Fueled by an outpouring of support, we realized the need to formalize our efforts, and in October 2021, we became an official 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Since then, our growth has been nothing short of remarkable. In under 18 months, REACT DC evolved from a volunteer group into a key partner with local and national agencies, including LSSNCA, Welcome.US, the Office of Refugee Resettlement, and the State Department. We proudly achieved milestones like securing our first federal grant and a transformative grant for a pro-bono asylum clinic for Afghan refugees. These accomplishments affirm the dedication, passion, and resilience of our team and supporters. As we celebrate our third anniversary, we honor every moment that has brought us here and remain committed to our mission of supporting those in need. Here’s to the past three years and to the many more ahead. Thank you for being a part of this journey! 🎉🤝 #REACTDC #Anniversary #RefugeeSupport #Community #MakingADifference
