Partner With Us
As a nonprofit organization, we are grateful to the many partners and collaborators who support Project FINE and our work in the community. We host one annual fundraising event, the Taste of International Cuisine, but over the years, we have participated in many different activities to raise funds and promote awareness of diversity in our region.
One Community Many Stories
In August 2013, our Executive Director Fatima Said was honored with a Virginia McKnight Binger Award in Human Service, which is given annually to Minnesotans who have demonstrated an exceptional personal commitment to helping others in their communities. The award came with a cash prize, which Fatima donated to support the creation of a traveling educational exhibit.
The One Community Many Stories exhibit provides a comprehensive overview of Project FINE and our mission, including information on community demographics, journey stories, and the stages of refugee and immigrant integration. It also highlights the successes and contributions of refugees and immigrants in our area and includes tips to help build an inclusive and welcoming community.
The exhibit consists of seven banners, each measuring 33.5” x 78” and a video. It is available for display in businesses,
organizations, educational institutions or other settings.
For more information or to request the exhibit for your location, please contact Fatima Said.

Refugee and Immigrant Stories
One Community Many Stories
In 2022, Project FINE compiled a list of stories of refugees and immigrants who have come to call Winona home. The stories included represent a wide diversity of experiences. The storytellers are from different cultures and countries of origin and their reasons for coming to the United States vary, as do the many hardships they have overcome. It takes tremendous courage for them to share their lives with us and we are so honored to be able to pass these experiences along to you.

Taste of International Cuisine Cookbook
In 2010, the Project FINE staff, board and friends compiled their recipes into a cookbook. Over the course of six months, we spent time cooking
and sharing our traditional cultural cuisine. The result is a beautiful
full-color cookbook with recipes from around the globe. Copies of the
book are available for purchase by contacting Project FINE or by
clicking the button below.
The recipes are delicious and easy to follow, allowing you to become a Bosnian baker or an Italian chef in the comfort of your own home!
