Mark these dates on your calendar and join us for upcoming Iskashitaa events.
It is also our interns last month before they return to their homes so lets make this month worth it! :)
Upcoming Events
Refugee 101 Information Night: Thursday, July 12th (6:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.)
Come learn more about refugee life, communicating in different languages, and refugee work. What to learn what Iskashitaa Refugee Network does in the community? Want to become a volunteer? Anyone who wants information can attend and attendance does not commit you to serve. The training is at St. Francis in the Foothills, 4625 E. River Rd. Room 30/31. Please RSVP to volunteer@iskashitaa.org.
Short Spring Harvests: Fridays or when you have time
Harvesting local fruit and vegetables with Iskashitaa Refugee Network! You would be working alongside refugees picking fruit in backyards or local farms. We harvest excess citrus, figs, plums, squash, pumpkins, dates, corn, pomegranates and more. You will definitely have a chance to make new friends from interesting cultures, learn about eating local in Tucson and try some of these delicious fruits of the desert!
Check our Facebook page and our website for more details, or email harvesting@iskashitaa.org for more information.
Food preservation workshops with refugees and Iskashitaa: 2nd and 4th Fridays of the month (9:00am -3:00pm)
Citrus juice, organic chutney, local marmalades, Nepalese pickled veggies, & more!
Learn about new foods, techniques, and cross cultural traditions. Come for an hour come for half the day!

Sewing and Craft Supply Redistribution Day: Saturday, July 7st (11:00 a.m.-2:00 p.m.)
Moved to the Oasis Learning Center, 306 E. Navajo #1106!
The generous donations of volunteers and friends of Iskashitaa have led to a VERY full storage shed and we want to get those donations back out to our refugee friends! As usual, we cannot do this without your help! Please RSVP online or send an email to Emily at irscc@iskashitaa.org. We need volunteers to set up, help redistribute the supplies and clean up.
