In December, IRC in Seattle, King County, and DSHS collaborated to organize a wonderful wrap-up event celebrating an innovative partnership that helped provide temporary housing to hundreds of refugees at the former Silver Cloud Hotel in Redmond.

In partnership with Dallas CASA, 16 high school girls resettled in Dallas experienced the magic of prepping for prom season.

Refugees bring stories of resilience and strength to their resettled country and so much more than they can carry: hopes and dreams, experiences and talents, traditions and heritage. Amira Kherrallah, originally from the Central African Republic, brought all of this with her to the U.S. after she was forced to flee her home. Read about how she overcame obstacles through her passion to serve her community.

Each year, A Taste of the IRC is an opportunity for our community to come together to learn more about the life-saving importance of the refugee resettlement program. For the first time, our California offices—in Los Angeles, Oakland, Sacramento, San Diego, San Jose, and Turlock—are hosting a joint fundraiser to highlight our work across the state of California!

Meet Bhanu, who was once a refugee from Bhutan and is now an american citizen and staff member at the IRC in Abilene.

A Taste of the IRC, our 12th annual fundraising dinner, is a night of celebration, community and welcome featuring cuisines from around the world. Meet a few of the refugee chefs bringing a taste of their home countries to San Diego on September 5th.

State legislators and staff welcome refugee advocates at the State Capitol for information exchange

The IRC in Salt Lake City’s Speakers Bureau educates the community about the refugees we serve and how they can get involved.
