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 the Quad Cities:
Welcomed over {office value} refugees and supported over {office value} other immigrants since {office est. date}
Recruited {office value} volunteers to be the hands and feet of Jesus
Mobilized {office value} churches to love their neighbor
Received needed in-kind goods and services valuing over {office value}
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 the Quad Cities since 1999. And we’ve done so with the help of bold and compassionate women and men just like you.
Together, we can make Quad Cities some 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.
