Op-Ed: Immigrants can revive cities and towns across America
Giving thanks and remembering our refugee families
As we start to slow down to enjoy time with family, friends, and loved ones, we are grateful for our volunteers and donors who make it possible for RAMP to welcome and support new refugee families, the most recent, settled into an apartment last week!
We ask that while planning for your Thanksgiving holiday, please think about the refugee families served by RAMP volunteers and add
a contribution to RAMP to your to-do list. Your contribution to RAMP will mean that families recently arrived from Central America, Afghanistan and Syria, can benefit from the services offered by RAMP.

‘We need to take a closer look at what immigrants contribute to America’
In New Jersey, where one in four residents are immigrants, it’s hardly surprising that there would be “on the ground” forces at work. In Morris County, for example, a small nonprofit, RAMP, aims to do what New York is doing on a lesser scale.

In Memory of Leo J. Rogers, Jr.
With sadness, we share the obituary of Leo Rogers, one of RAMP's original members and one of its most active and dedicated.
"I feel blessed to have had Leo as a friend. RAMP volunteers and families were blessed to have had his wisdom, his passion, and his humor. I extend our wishes for peace and comfort to the family and all who miss him."

Hussain, his wife, Arifa, and their three children were settled in Boonton after fleeing the Taliban. Sponsorship from one of the refugee agencies had expired after a few months and RAMP was able to step up to provide additional services that improved the family's foundation for independence and job stability.
