On September 17, 2026, Clarice James, Founder and Executive Director of MIRA Resources, spoke to the club about the organization's work supporting migrant, immigrant, refugee, and asylee families. Clarice, who also teaches and runs the nutrition program at the Easton Farmers Market, founded MIRA in 2020 and built it entirely on a no-grant, all-volunteer model that now serves roughly 1,600 families every quarter. MIRA runs three departments: education (free ESL classes, virtual and in-person, each taught by a different volunteer instructor), legal (immigration and general attorneys offering free consultations), and case management (employment, housing, and medical referrals), plus interpreters covering more than 13 languages, all at no cost regardless of a family's documentation status.
Clarice asked if we could share with our members the link to her organization's website, themiraresources.org, and this link to information about an art exhibition that just began this week in Allentown on the theme of immigration enforcement: https://www.themiraresources.org/events.
