IRC interns Christina and Riley share how the IRC's summer school program makes a difference in the lives of refugee students, as well as the lives of the interns who are essential to making the program a success.

The continuing war in Ukraine is causing extreme civilian harm, as millions of people have been forced to leave their homes and find shelter in neighbouring or further countries. Poland is one of the countries hosting the largest number of refugees from Ukraine. The IRC has worked in Poland since February 2022 to provide vital support to those affected by the conflict, so they can return home when it is safe, not because they have to.

The IRC in Abilene is committed to serving Afghan families and other refugee arrivals by ensuring they have access to safe housing, medical care, mental health services, case management, and other vital services as they rebuild their lives in our community. We need your generosity to support our newest neighbors. 

Missoula Gives is a 26-hour online celebration that connects generous Missoulians with the causes they care about. It is a day to celebrate all that Missoula are and the role nonprofits play in making our community great. Our goal this year is to raise $3,000. Donating to IRC Missoula will help us support refugees during their resettlement process. You can give online or donate in person at the IRC office with a check or cash.

IRC San Jose’s newest initiative, the B.R.I.D.G.E. Youth Mentorship program, has just hit its 10-month mark! This exciting new program focused on supporting the integration and social, educational, and vocational pursuits of refugee youth has been a long-time dream of the San Jose office.

Private donations contribute greatly to the success of the IRC's work. Although we receive state and federal funding for initial resettlement and employment services, the assistance we provide to refugee families beyond their first few months in the U.S. would not be possible without community support.

In honor of World Refugee Day, we are selling limited edition IRC in Silver Spring t-shirts & a tote bag for $20 with proceeds going to our local office to support our work! Click the link for more information but hurry, the fundraiser ends July 1st!

The IRC in Dallas is committed to bringing our refugee clients from harm to home. As a part of that commitment, we provide them with necessities – such as clothing and household items – they will need to start rebuilding their lives here. To do this, the IRC relies on donated items from community partners that are passed into the hands of our clients free of charge either through our Donation Center or other donation events.
