Immigrant families are living in fear across the U.S. People are being punished for seeking safety, many of whom have fled war, persecution and violence. Our hearts ache and our bodies fatigue as we witness the storm of suffering across our community, our country and the world. And yet — we hold onto Hope.
Together with you, World Relief is boldly responding, inspired by the audacious belief that human flourishing is possible — even in the midst of chaos and devastation.
This holiday season, we remember that when storms rage, Jesus shows up, bringing light, peace and hope in the midst of urgent need. He comes alongside us so that together, we can come alongside others.
Let us embody the love, peace and light of Christ this season.
Your generosity is critical in our ability to respond to this moment of urgent crises and offer hope to those in our community who are suffering due to:
Job Loss & Food Insecurity
Many families are facing food insecurity due to job loss or cuts to SNAP.
$50/mo over a year can provide support for 3 refugees to find jobs so they can provide for their families
Immigration Status Uncertainty Amidst Increased Enforcement

$100/mo over a year delivers trusted and compassionate legal guidance to 12 immigrants, giving them clarity and hope.
Dismantled Support Pathways
While agencies are closing their doors, we are equipping churches and volunteers to come alongside families to support.
$200 a month trains and mobilizes a Good Neighbor Team to walk alongside refugee and immigrant families, helping them rebuild their lives and find belonging

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 Western Washington since 1979. And we’ve done so with the help of bold and compassionate women and men just like you.
Together, we can make Western Washington 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.
