The IRC in Denver and Highlands United Methodist Church Embrace a Second Co-Sponsored Refugee Family

On 4/23/24 the Sie FilmCenter in Denver played host to an impactful event: the official UN Refugee Film Screening to honor the 75th declaration of human rights, and the IRC in Denver joined the powerful celebration.

Every dollar you donate to the IRC powers life-saving humanitarian aid, creating a global ripple effect that transforms lives.
