"Knowing MFRC and meeting Sara was a pivotal moment during my transition to a new place. Her kindness, encouragement and support played a significant role in securing a meaningful job opportunity that I truly enjoy today.

"We are blessed to have Sara's leadership as the head of the Multicultural Family Resource Center in Greene County. Under her guidance, the MFRC has become a vital resource in our community, fostering inclusion, equity, and support for families of diverse backgrounds. Sara has been an essential partner with our school district. Her ability to build strong partnerships, develop innovative programs, and create an environment of respect has significantly enhanced relationships with our families and has addressed the needs of many of our multicultural students. Through her dedication and expertise, Sara has ensured that the MFRC remains a cornerstone of support and empowerment for Greene County.”
"Getting to collaborate with the Multicultural Family Resource Center has been one of the highlights of my professional career in Iowa as a Youth Services Librarian. Sara and her team have a passion for multiculturalism, diversity, and equity that is invaluable to our growing community and I'm proud to be able to work with them, from cultural programs like Dia de los Muertos and educational opportunities like bilingual storytimes. Their positive contribution to Jefferson cannot be overstated. I look forward to watching the MFRC grow and to the new connections our public library can make with them and the community."
