Thanksgiving

Local residents open their homes, set an extra place or more at their Thanksgiving table, and share their food, family and traditions with international students. MFIS volunteers have generously hosted over 100 international students each year. Past students say this is one of their most memorable experiences in the US, while hosts often tell us they make lifetime international friends.​
