Help refugees and immigrants in the U.S. rebuild their lives.

U.S. Offices

Today, over 120 million people have been forcibly displaced worldwide. Most of whom cannot return home. After years of fleeing violence, war, famine and extreme poverty, their greatest hope is to once again belong—to find a place to rebuild their homes and lives.

World Relief partners with local churches and community-based organizations across the United States to provide support for thousands of immigrants and refugees who are seeking a place to call home. We do this by:

Extending Welcome

Provide Vital Services

Building Relationships and Belonging

Partnerships of Impact

We are committed to mobilizing partner churches and local religious, social and civic organizations into action and advocacy on behalf of refugees and immigrants. We provide the tools and advice needed to empower partners to learn, advocate and live out their heart for the vulnerable. Through this approach, in the fiscal year 2023:

11,804 immigrants were welcomed in the U.S.
7,323 refugees and SIVs were resettled
4,481 asylees & asylum seekers were served
12,177 clients were served through Immigration Legal Services
650 churches were mobilized
5,367 volunteers served

Coming to the U.S. was a dream. It was so hard, but it was worth it. It is worth the work, the sweat, everything. The second we landed in the U.S. we were welcomed by the Church. They had an apartment for us, brought us food, drove us to the hospital every day, and became our friends. We could not have made it through this journey without them We mourn, yes, but we are blessed. we're building our future here.
