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 400,000 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.
