Whatcom County
World Relief's Whatcom County location was approved by the U.S. State Department in September 2021. Shortly after the fall of Kabul and amidst many Afghans arriving to the U.S., our team began welcoming families in Bellingham and beyond.
Whatcom's current focus is on refugee reception and placement, securing housing, helping children get into school, and offering various youth programs. As our capacity grows, we eagerly look forward to offering more services throughout Whatcom County.
