Image of volunteers at Jubilee Partners, together with refugees, celebrating the largest Thanksgiving in its history in 2004. Many dishes of food sit on a long wooden table, and people gather around to fill their plates. The first fourteen refugees arrived from Cuba in 1980 and have been followed by many more from war-torn countries in Central America, the former Yugoslavia, the Middle East, and Africa.
Jubilee Partners, a Christian service community located near Comer, Georgia, has hosted more than 2,500 international refugees since its establishment in 1979. The community sponsors a program that teaches refugees the language and life skills they will need to make a successful transition from the war-torn conditions of their home countries to the United States. - Metadata URL:
