Supporting Those Who Are Building New Beginnings Through the Refugee Development Center

At Rathbun Insurance, we believe that being there matters most. That commitment extends beyond our clients and into the heart of our community. Today, we are proud to highlight the important work of the Refugee Development Center (RDC).

Founded in 2002, the Refugee Development Center is a vital nonprofit serving mid-Michigan’s refugee population. Through both formal and informal learning opportunities, the RDC creates an open, welcoming environment where individuals and families can access the tools, education, and resources they need to build new lives. Their work helps ensure that refugees not only adjust, but truly flourish as residents and citizens in our community.

From youth programs and educational support to family services and cultural connection, the RDC plays a critical role in strengthening the fabric of Greater Lansing. Their impact is felt not only by those they directly serve, but by our entire community.

We are honored to support the RDC’s upcoming THRIVE event in May, a celebration of resilience, growth, and opportunity. Events like THRIVE not only raise awareness, but also help sustain the programs that empower individuals and families every day.

Supporting organizations like the Refugee Development Center aligns deeply with who we are at Rathbun Insurance. We are committed to showing up, giving back, and investing in the people and organizations that make our community stronger.

We encourage you to learn more about the Refugee Development Center and consider how you might support their mission. Together, we can help ensure that everyone in our community has the opportunity to thrive.

Because at the end of the day, being there matters most.
