"Everything changed when I was seven years old. I became a selective mute in English halfway between first and second grade. I stopped talking at school. I got by with nodding and doing the thumbs up. In fact, I wouldn't speak English voluntarily until I went to college...." Kao Kalia Yang, Author's note from A Rock In My Throat.

Join us in just 2 weeks! Hear Kao's voice, learn her story, and read her words. You don't want to miss this opportunity.

We’re excited to share that Hannaford Supermarkets has selected The Center to benefit from their Community Bag Program during the entire month of November!
For every $2.50 reusable Community Bag purchased at Hannaford at the 1122 Mohawk Street, Utica NY location, $1 is directed to The Center.
It’s that simple, and it adds up fast. Each bag purchased is a small action that helps us continue to support refugee families.
This program not only promotes sustainability by reducing plastic waste but also provides a meaningful opportunity to grow awareness and support for our mission within the community.
We're grateful to the Hannaford Community Bag program, and grateful for your support!
