From Home to Home
Refugees and asylees face many challenges and difficult decisions along their journey to resettlement. From Home to Home is an experiential exhibit that builds understanding around the crisis of forced displacement. The exhibit simulates decision points and common difficulties. Our staff will guide you through the exhibit and help debrief the experience over snacks and hot drinks.
*As the event deals with heavy themes we ask that children under age 12 stay at home.

Welcomed | Rooted | Empowered
World Relief Western Washington opened its doors to the first wave of refugees from Southeast Asia in 1979. Today, thousands of people have had their lives changed: both by being welcomed and by opening their homes and lives to welcome others.
The refugees and immigrants we serve display incredible resilience as they take difficult jobs, learn a new language & culture, and even navigate the citizenship process--all to put down roots so that they and their children will thrive. Your generosity makes this possible.
While building a future for themselves and with your partnership, these families have also been empowered to give back. Our communities are enriched by new cultures, new ideas, new businesses, and new leaders. Having been shown incredible hospitality in a time of need, each of them--each of us--turns and extends hospitality to others.
