STAMFORD, CT — Building One Community (B1C) – the center for immigrant opportunity - held two successful events last weekend to spread joy in the immigrant community.

They kicked off Friday night with a festive party that brought music, food, crafts and dancing to the local immigrant community. Then, thanks to generous donors and partners, hundreds of immigrant children and families lined up on Saturday at 417 Shippan Ave. to receive toys and holiday wreaths.

"The holiday season is here, and many in our immigrant community are seeing their budgets stretched thin this year," said B1C Executive Director Dr. Anka Badurina in a news release. "Through the generosity of our community members, partners and volunteers, we were able to offer gifts to hundreds of young immigrant children. We hope to be able to continue to spread joy during this festive time of year."

Volunteer partner organizations, including Greenwich Academy, Brunswick School, and Trinity Church, were in attendance to lend a hand. Greenwich Country Day School also donated 50 wreaths to bring the holiday spirit into people’s homes.

The B1C organization is a dynamic group, and the immigrant community benefits from its multiple programs and services year-round. You can help continue to spread cheer by donating to the annual appeal. Donations go a long way to ensure each immigrant family receives the support they need this season and into 2023.
