For over 80 years, across 100 countries we’ve been coming alongside families displaced by violence, poverty and injustice – both in the U.S. and across the world. We operate with interconnected solutions and wrap-around care that has true power to create change that lasts.
Together with you, we have seen our communities flourish in Chicagoland:
Welcomed over 20,000 refugees and supported over 60,000 other immigrants since 1979
Recruited 1,500 volunteers to be the hands and feet of Jesus last year
Last year, received needed in-kind goods and services valuing over $1,000,000
At World Relief, we’ve welcomed, advocated for and helped integrate over 500,000 forcibly displaced immigrants to communities all across our nation, including here in Chicagoland since 1979. And we’ve done so with the help of bold and compassionate women and men just like you.
Together, we can make Chicagoland one of the most welcoming communities on the planet. Will you join us?
Seeing what World Relief was doing, I thought — thank God something is happening. There is still goodness in the world. World Relief is changing lives.

I don’t know what we would have done without [our caseworker]. Before we got to World Relief, it felt like no one cared.
