Dear {{First Name}}:
June has been a full and meaningful month for our team.
On June 20th, World Refugee Day, we were deeply encouraged by the turnout in downtown Fayetteville, where nearly 600 people came through the doors to meet our staff, volunteers, and a group of our incredible entrepreneurs. It was a day full of connection, a moment to celebrate the achievements of those who have been resettled, and an opportunity to pause and hold space for those who are still in limbo, waiting for a place to call home.
With that in mind, we are honored to share some highlights from Canopy's Mid-Year Report, covering the services we provided between October 2025 and March 2026. These are not just numbers on a page. Behind every figure is a person, a family, a story. We have been privileged to walk alongside each one, and none of it would be possible without you.
Thank you for giving your time, your resources, and your heart to this mission. We are truly grateful.
Happy 4th of July!
Regards,
Khalid Ahmadzai
Senior Director of Partnerships
