The IRC is grateful for the support of the communities in Charlottesville and Richmond and the care shown for the refugees and immigrants we serve. As an international humanitarian organization with decades of experience responding to health crises worldwide, we are monitoring COVID-19 closely, drawing on this experience, and guidance from the CDC and World Health Organization (WHO). We take great care in safeguarding the health of our beneficiaries, our staff members, and the communities we serve. At this time:
- The IRC's office in Charlottesville and Richmond are open for appointments Monday-Thursday. Masks are required when entering the office.
- All staff members are fully available to clients, partners and community members and can be reached by phone or email.
- Clients seeking assistance with employment, housing or medical needs should contact their primary IRC staff member.
- New clients seeking immigration services should contact [email protected] (preferred) or call 434-962-9297 and leave a message. Applicants need a smart phone and email address to start their application for citizenship with the IRC.
Thank you for your cooperation as we all work together to slow the spread of COVID-19 in our community and protect the health of our clients and staff.
Refugee families have been disproportionately affected by COVID-19's impacts on our communities. Help IRC ensure our clients have the resources they need.
