Spend a night sampling Burmese and Iraqi cuisine at “A Ticket to Taste,” on Friday, April 27, from 6:30-10:00pm, at St. James Parish Episcopal Church, Perry Hall at the corner of Dock Street and S. 4th Street in Wilmington, NC. This is the second annual spring fundraiser for Interfaith Refugee Ministry - Wilmington, a refugee resettlement agency.

It will be an evening full of eye-opening, inspiring, and fun entertainment, featuring musical performances by supporters of Interfaith Refugee Ministry – Wilmington (including Chelsea Litzinger and Jamey Graves) and the Burmese Karen Choir of Wilmington. In addition, you will have the opportunity to learn more about the refugee experience from people who have fled persecution in their homelands to journey to the U.S. in order to rebuild new lives of hope and freedom here in Wilmington. Come learn about the lives that are changed in the process – the lives of refugees coming to America and the lives of Americans who become involved with the newcomers to America. You don’t have to travel the globe to make a world of difference in the lives of people who have lived long years of persecution and threat of death.
