Delaware County Citizens for Refugee Support Is Now
Open Catskills
New Name, Same Mission
Delaware County Citizens for Refugee Support (DCCRS) has changed its name to Open Catskills.
When we started this effort, we knew that we wanted to work in Delaware County and with refugees and asylum seekers and our name reflected that. Two years into our journey we have a deeper understanding of ourselves, and more importantly of the community we live in. And the most striking feature of this community is its openness: to new ideas and to new people. By your contributions of time, care, and resources, you have demonstrated how our corner of the world can share its abundance with people fleeing difficult situations and looking for a place to thrive.
To honor this spirit and to reflect more accurately where we come from, DCCRS will now be known as Open Catskills. We will have a formal launch event later (with a new website and swag!) but as a practical matter, we wanted you to know that financial contributions should now be addressed to Open Catskills.
Ongoing Campaign
Welcome to Delhi, NY–Ikran & Deeko!
DCCRS & SUNY Delhi are partnering with Welcome Corps on Campus to sponsor two Somali refugee students to attend the two-year SUNY Delhi Nursing Program. We seek community support to cover tuition, housing, meals, books, lab fees, and living expenses during their first year in SUNY Delhi’s renowned, accredited nursing program.
