We bring the taste of global traditions into your own home to share with your family! Refugees in our Matthew House community are sharing their food and their stories in the hopes that you will be moved to donate to Matthew House and help more refugees just like them.

The people in Matthew House believe in you, they know exactly what you can do. When you come to Matthew House you don’t find a shelter, when you come to Matthew House you find a home. You can live like you live in your home. The people around you are going to be your family. And they are your family because they are very interested in your future.
