Each year hundreds of people help IRC welcome refugees to Northern California.  This year, why not show your support for refugees and provide a family with a warm welcome. 

You and your colleagues, friends or family can host a refugee welcome kit build. All items are directly given to newly arrived families who have been forced to flee their homes due to conflict and persecution.  Write a note of welcome and let our newest neighbors know #WeStandWithRefugees. 

IRC in Oakland, Turlock, San Jose, and Sacramento are looking for community partners who can prepare welcome kits with household and personal items that help families feel at home. Items include linens, kitchen items, hygiene products, and more.
