In this edition of "The IRC at Work," you will see how we have responded to assist refugees as COVID-19 rapidly spreads across the globe. 

We need your help to prepare homes for newly arriving refugees with items from our wish lists!

Each year, the International Rescue Committee (IRC) works closely with state elected leaders to ensure that the communities in which we work are welcoming places for refugees and other new Americans.

Community members are invited to pick a gift tag from one of the IRC's Giving Wreaths at any local Starbucks location in Wichita or Derby. Items will be given to refugees who have been resettled in Wichita or for those who may arrive in 2018.

Four reasons why Ethiopia is at risk of experiencing a worsening humanitarian crisis in 2024.

The IRC in Elizabeth's Refugee Youth Summer Academy (RYSA) visited Alstede Farms for a field trip this month. Fresh peach picking, animals, and sunflower mazes made for a great day!

As some of the earliest hit states in the pandemic, NY and NJ responded with empathy, resourcefulness and energy to ensure all new arrivals and established refugees weathered the storm.

Imagine leaving everything behind—your home, your career, your community—arriving in a foreign land with nothing but hope and determination. This is the reality for thousands of refugees seeking safety and a fresh start.

Thank you for your interest in in-kind donations to the IRC! Community assistance with early resettlement in the form of donations is an amazing way to immediately impact the lives of newly arrived refugees, and we welcome your help.
