After visiting DIIR's headquarters and speaking with the staff, it became clear that miracles are happing right in our backyard. Partnering with this organization feels like a fortuitous full circle for me. I spent my formative years pursuing work in the nonprofit sector with a focus on education and refugee resettlement. My interest in the refugee crisis piqued my senior year in high school, when I chose it as the focus of my Student Exhibition project. The project culminates with a Ted Talk-like presentation in front of faculty, family and friends. For my thesis, I analyzed the refugee and internally displaced person crisis through the lens of women across three different types of countries and settlements. I channeled this new-found fervor by pursing a summer internship at Refugees International in DC and then, after graduating from UNC, spent a service year fundraising on behalf of Reading Partners, a domestic literacy organization. The marriage of DIIR's two initiatives embodies my focuses and work in my early years, and it feels very serendipitous that Harper & Tucker could give back and partner with an organization working for this cause.
This is where you come in! December 3rd-13th Harper & Tucker will be accepting clothing and gift card donations. Your donations will go directly to DIIR's clothing collaborative branch for refugees and their families, as well as referred low-income Rhode Island residents. Every person that donates will get 10% off their next purchase at Harper & Tucker.
