11/17/24 CVTW: An Update on Refugee Resettlement in Eau Claire Through World Relief

                                                                                Chippewa Valley This Week

World Relief Community Engagement Specialist, Jodi Jewell

World Relief Community Engagement Specialist, Jodi Jewell, defines just who are "refugees" and updates us on the integration of 75 refugees into the Eau Claire community in the past year. She says they've been approved for another 100-125 refugees through the end of September, 2025, but says that's somewhat uncertain because the President-Elect has promised to "suspend all refugee arrivals to the United States on day one." Either way, she says, they'll look to carry on their work as best they can. Finally, she says anyone wanting to join their Good Neighbor teams working with incoming refugees or churches/groups wanting her to speak should contact her at Jjewell@WR.org.
