Now it is Our Turn to Help!
Many injured Haitians will be coming to Boston for medical care. Many will have accompanying family members, who will stay with relatives in the Haitian Community.
Over the past month, since the devastating earthquake in Haiti, we have felt a desire to help, but we haven’t known how. Many people from this area have gone to Haiti to assist there. Many of us cannot. Still we want to help. Now we can! Find out more >>

About RIM - Serving Refugees and Asylum Seekers
RIM is an Interfaith, community-based organization that was founded in 1986.
RIM’s volunteers bring clients into relationships with their communities. Programs include:
- Community-based resettlement of asylum seekers and refugees
- Job preparation through English and computer classes
- Spiritual Care Givers who provide chaplaincy services to immigrant detainees.
- Case Management: All programs rest upon a strong Case Management plan, offering "new life and hope to uprooted people". As one client summed it up, "You took me from nowhere to somewhere."
