Join 5 Fairfax locals who spent the summer in Greece aiding refugees on their journey towards safety, as they discuss their stories and ways that locals can help refugees stranded in Greece.

The volunteers worked alongside refugees in demanding conditions, including a searing heat wave that reached 122F and civil unrest and police brutality at one of the more prison-like camps resulting in further instability for people living as refugees. 

The volunteers will be sharing their experiences, answering questions from the community, and discussing ways that the Fairfax Community can offer direct support to refugee families stuck in Greece at the “Aiding an Odyssey - Fairfax Stands with Refugees” event scheduled September 20th from 6:30-8:30PM at Fairfax Community Church in Fairfax.

All proceeds will be donated to benefit refugees in Greece as they move towards their goal of finding a safe and welcoming host country. Specific recipient families and organizations will be profiled at the event.
