Chicago held its first-ever Day of Dignity Saturday to support refugees, new arrivals and migrants in need.
CHICAGO (WLS) -- At Sullivan High School on the North Side, neighbors are helping neighbors.
"Most of the time it's difficult for our refugee communities to get resources additional from what they receive from the government," said Dana Rainey of the Misfits Market.
Saturday marks Islamic Relief USA's "Day of Dignity." It's a chance to give back to communities in need with the Chicago Refugee Coalition.
"Day of Dignity is an incredible opportunity for the Chicago community to come together in support of refugees, new arrivals and migrants that are part of the fabric of our Chicago community," said Alisa Bhachu, Chicago Refugee Coalition executive director.
