“We greet them at the airport, help get them set up with a new apartment, getting kids enrolled in school, parents enrolled in English classes, helping them find that first job,” said Sloane Davidson, founder and CEO of Hello Neighbor.

Now through Dec. 31, Hello Neighbor is trying to raise $50,000 to help support those newly arriving families.
