The Events, Outreach, and Development branch of Refugee Action at Lafayette serves to fulfill the organization’s educational, fundraising, and community-building goals. In the past, EOD has hosted guest speakers, documentary screenings, and various fundraising sales. Beyond campus, EOD hosts community events such as the annual Broths for a Better World, which brings Lehigh Valley residents together to enjoy soups from countries facing refugee crises and discuss global issues. EOD also spearheads emergency fundraisers for families in immediate need as well as ongoing fundraisers for club sustainability. EOD serves as the main point of contact for Refugee Action’s vital Community Partners. This branch of Refugee Action ensures that the organization remains a positive force in the community and that all those who are interested know how they can help refugees.
