Welcoming Week, which began on Sunday, Sept. 12, is a time to come together to celebrate the wonderful things that each different culture and background brings to the community. Oakland County, a member of Welcoming America, is pleased to join the celebration with other Welcoming Communities across the country as we reflect on what the theme of Belonging Begins with Us means.
Oakland County will conduct an in-person event Friday, September 17, outside at Rahma Worldwide, 31333 Southfield Road, Beverly Hills. This refugee services-centered event will feature representatives from agencies and county departments that work with community members, including Oakland County Workforce Development, Rahma Worldwide, Oakland County Board of Commissioners, ACCESS, Samaritas, the Office of Global Michigan, and many others.
There will also be a walk-in vaccine clinic (for everyone 12 years and older) at the event along with some wonderful cultural performers and a food truck provided by the county for the guests to enjoy.
Oakland County Executive David Coulter will kick off the event at 6:45 p.m.
This Welcoming Week has even more meaning this year as communities across Michigan and the nation prepare to welcome people who are fleeing Afghanistan.
