Idaho Appreciation Lunch- from Refugees and Supporters to Legislators

An annual show of gratitude and support for refugee resettlement to our state legislators. This special event brings food and conversation from community members with refugee backgrounds to our lawmakers at the Idaho State Capitol.

The Idaho Appreciation Lunch also gives local organizations and businesses the opportunity to show their support for refugee resettlement in Idaho. In 2025 we received over 200 endorsements from Idaho businesses and organizations!
