ST. JOHNSBURY – An interactive presentation by the Northeast Kingdom Asylum Seekers Assistance Network (NEKASAN) will be given at the St. Johnsbury Anthenaeum on Wednesday, Oct. 8, at 7 p.m. The program will offer advice on supporting seekers of refuge and a new home and focuses on how to foster a welcoming community and to support the most vulnerable asylum seekers who have fled violence and persecution in their home countries. 

In partnership with other key community organizations, NEKASAN provides services to meet the basic physical, emotional, vocational, legal and financial needs of asylum-seeking guests until they can move toward a safe and stable independent future. This event is free, ADA accessible, and open to the public.

The Anthenaeum is located at 1171 Main St. For more information, call (802) 748-8291.
