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 Sacramento:
Welcomed over 36,000 newly arrived refugees and immigrants and supported over 45,000 other immigrants through our programs since 1989.
Equipped 12,750 volunteers to be the hands and feet of Jesus since 1989.
Engaged 1,430 church and community partners, including 52 active church partners, to love their neighbor
Received needed in-kind goods and services in 2024 valuing over $700,000.
At World Relief, we’ve welcomed, advocated for and helped integrate over 400,000 forcibly displaced immigrants to communities all across our nation, including nearly 40,000 here in Sacramento since 1989. And we’ve done so with the help of bold and compassionate women and men just like you.
Together, we can make Sacramento 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.
