Open Doors for Refugees
Helping refugees make a home in the Madison area
Join us Sunday, June 26 for our annual Community Picnic!

With the support of the Madison community, Open Doors collects furnishings and sets up apartments, and provides translation, transportation, ESL, childcare, and employment services for arriving refugees. Additionally, each year the Events team hosts or co-hosts four major annual events and a handful of one-off events, either for the refugee community or the community at large.
