Families who have fled violence, persecution and crisis are continuing to rebuild their lives in communities across the United States. Yet for many refugees and other immigrants, growing uncertainty around immigration policies, access to resources and long-term stability has created new challenges during an already vulnerable season.
Even in the midst of uncertainty, we believe in more.
Together with compassionate neighbors, churches and volunteers, we are walking alongside refugee and immigrant families as they pursue safety, stability and the opportunity to thrive.
From emergency support and housing assistance to legal services, employment programs and community connection, your partnership helps families move forward with dignity and hope.
Give today to help refugee and immigrant families in our community find support, belonging and the opportunity to flourish.
Food Insecurity
Many families are afraid to leave their homes and need food provided for them in this crisis time.
$50/mo over a year can ensure a refugee family does not go hungry.
Immigration Status Uncertainty Amidst Increased Enforcement
Families are facing a complex legal system without a guarantee of due process.
$100/mo over a year delivers trusted and compassionate legal guidance to 12 immigrants, giving them clarity and hope in a complex system.
Dismantled Support Pathways
While agencies are closing their doors, we are equipping churches and volunteers to come alongside families to support.

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 Memphis:
We have been welcoming since 2012, and this year alone we welcomed 570 refugees and supported 573 other immigrants
Recruited 447 volunteers to be the hands and feet of Jesus
We mobilized 43 churches to love their neighbors
Received needed in-kind goods and services valued over $270,000
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 Memphis since 2012. And we’ve done so with the help of bold and compassionate women and men just like you.
Together, we can make Memphis 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.
