“We are grateful for the Winnipesaukee Wine Festival and the Common Man to have chosen IINE as the recipient of this fun, community-based charitable event,” said Xan Weber, Senior Vice President of the International Institute of New England. “These funds will allow us to continue supporting immigrant and refugee families coming to New Hampshire and will help support Ukrainian refugees in our communities.”

The mission of the International Institute of New England (IINE) is to create opportunities for refugees and immigrants to succeed through resettlement, education, career advancement and pathways to citizenship. IINE works to assist immigrants in realizing their dreams and contributing to New England’s growth and prosperity. The organization has resettled nearly 600 individuals in the past six months, of which the majority are Afghan evacuees, and continues to respond to the call to provide local humanitarian response to some of the world’s most vulnerable people caught by war, violence, and persecution. IINE is preparing to welcome Ukrainian refugees fleeing the invasion and will work together with partners in communities in Massachusetts and New Hampshire to support them in reuniting with family living in New England or in joining our communities.
