Tadao K

Furniture & Supply Mover volunteer with Fundraising department

While efficiently navigating furniture pick ups, he made me feel like I was a hero saving the day. I could never doubt how much my help was appreciated.

Olga R

Interpreter/Translator volunteer with the Slavic & Eastern European Center

I loved interpreting and transcribing a video project where over a hundred of Ukrainian refugees tell their war story and how IRCO helped them overcome their predicament. I was very touched and moved by these stories and was very happy to witness how IRCO was making a real difference.
