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.

Together with you, we have seen our communities flourish in the Quad Cities:
Welcomed and supported over 4000 refugees and other immigrants since 1999.
Recruited volunteers to be the hands and feet of Jesus
Mobilized churches to love their neighbor
Received needed in-kind goods and services
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 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.

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