COVID19 is a real and present threat to our health, safety, and economic survival. This is especially true for immigrants in our communities. The stories of those coming to our country seeking freedom compel us to ensure their aspirations are met and their basic rights upheld. Thanks to the response of countless volunteers, donors, and advocates, FIRN will sponsor Twin Freedoms Day on June 20, 2020, in advance of Independence Day on the 4th of July. Twin Freedoms Day will center on:

1. Freedom from Illness – COVID Testing thanks to the Millennium Family Practice
2. Freedom from Hunger – Food distribution thanks to the Maryland Food Bank

On Twin Freedoms Day, FIRN will provide at least 150 immigrant families with COVID testing and food. The Ellicott City Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has graciously offered to host the event, ensuring we have a site that is safe and allows participants to remain in their cars while being tested and picking up food.
