Join us to hear Caryl’s compelling stories, support IM’s mission and celebrate Elliot Gershenson, President Emeritus of IM. By supporting this program, you help IM resettle world refugees fleeing persecution in their homelands, feed over 4000 homebound seniors and people with disabilities on a daily basis, foster interfaith dialogue, and transform communities through volunteerism.
