In response to the ongoing deliberations surrounding President Donald Trump’s travel ban, the International Rescue Committee office in Turlock hopes to inform the community on what the executive order means for the refugees they assist and how the public can help through an educational event. “We’ve been receiving a lot of questions from local volunteer and faith groups about what this means for our work and how they can support our work going forward,” said Maggie Berkemeyer, Development Manager for the IRC. “We want to talk about what the future may look like, and also give people a chance to see how they can get involved in this community.” The IRC helps oversee refugees’ transition into America, from picking them up at the airport to helping them earn their citizenship.
