Refugee Support Services

Refugee Support Services’ Knit Together group celebrates inclusion through knitting, in a room full of participants that speak upwards of 50 languages, we find community though the language of yarn. Stop by our booth and see what our artists have been creating.

About the Partner

Refugee Support Services is a 501(c)(3) organization leveraging the power of community to help program participants—including refugees, asylees, and other displaced people with legal status—resettle the Charlotte, North Carolina area. We work closely with individuals and families to help find translation services, healthcare, citizenship, and ultimately foster connection within our community so they can restart their lives here with confidence.

In addition, we design and host programs, like Love & Learn, Fruitful Friends, and our Knit Together Group, to cultivate community amongst local families. We operate an easy-to-access Help Desk for all who need direct assistance with things like deciphering bills and scheduling appointments. And each week, we host a free food market that feeds dozens of families in need.

RSS is the only post-resettlement agency in the greater Charlotte area. We support asylees and refugees find a productive, comfortable, loving “fit” through programs that help build the bridges between new arrivals from foreign lands, and our longstanding Charlotte neighbors.
