Donating

Monetary Donations:

You can help refugees in our community by donating to the IRC in Northern California. Your donation to the IRC in Northern California will help refugees who have been granted sanctuary in the United States become self-sufficient, productive members of their new communities. Online donations accepted here.

 

Soft Landing Fund:

Emergency temporary housing and rental support is the highest need as we assist in the resettlement and integration of Afghan SIVs who served alongside our military. We need your generosity to support a soft landing for our newest neighbors. 100% of your donation will be disbursed to cover emergency temporary housing as well as rental & utility assistance to support Afghan families stabilizing. You can donate to the Soft Landing Fund here.
