It brings joy to my heart to see how Leipzig has reached out to the refugees. They started their journeys so long ago and most have come on foot, bus and train to get here. We’re happy to have them here and want to do as much as we can to help them integrate so we can all learn from each other. Here’s 3 ways you can help NOW:

We’ve been very lucky so far this year, but we all know that winter is just around the corner. They need all kinds of winter garments, but especially men’s closed toe shoes. Though Leipzig’s residents have been extremely generous, there’s still more need than supplies. Here’s where you can donate to buy things to keep the refugees warm.
