Organizations that assist refugees in Rochester say immigrants are living with the uncertainty of what a Donald Trump presidency may mean for them.
Saint's Place, a local ministry, partners with Catholic Family Center to provide immigrants with the items they need to start a new life here.
It served 900 refugees in the last fiscal year.
Vice President for family services at Catholic Family Center, Jim Morris, says they don't know exactly what President-elect Trump will propose when it comes to refugees and immigrants.
"We know that we have to be prepared because we may have coming into office in two months an executive who is more hostile to the U.S. refugee resettlement program than any president we've seen in our lifetimes," he said.
But while there's some fear, especially among the Muslim population, he says there is also hope.
"Hope and perseverance are traits of refugees, and immigrants have an abundance. That's what has enabled them to overcome so many obstacles to get here," he said.
He says the refugees that come to Rochester come from all over the world, with the largest populations recently being Bhutanese, Burmese, Cubans and Iraqis. He says they expect to see more Syrians and Africans in the new year.
Saint's Place provides items like household goods, clothing and tutoring to legal refugees who settle in Rochester.
It's holding a fundraising event Sunday afternoon at 2:30 at the Little Theatre with the showing of "God Grew Tired of Us," a film documenting the journey of Sudanese refugees moving to America and how they adjust to their new home.
