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 Wisconsin:
Welcomed over 440 refugees and other immigrants just this year.
Recruited 178 volunteers to be the hands and feet of Jesus
Mobilized over a dozen new churches to love their neighbor
Received needed in-kind goods and services valuing over $93,000
At World Relief, we’ve welcomed, advocated for and helped integrate over 400,000 forcibly displaced immigrants to communities all across our nation, including here in Wisconsin since 2012. And we’ve done so with the help of bold and compassionate women and men just like you.
Together, we can make communities in Wisconsin some of the most welcoming 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.
