Many of the International Rescue Committee’s over 20 offices across the United States are helping families arriving from Afghanistan.

In the coming weeks, we anticipate welcoming our 30,000th refugee arrival—a testament to Georgia's commitment to fostering a beloved community that reflects—and celebrates—our common humanity, inspired by Dr. King’s vision. This milestone is not just a number but a symbol of hope and resilience for those seeking refuge from conflict and persecution.

Right now, more than ever, it feels as if everyone in the world could use a hug from their mother, grandmother, or someone else who feels like a mother to them. This Mother’s Day we got the chance to celebrate these women who mean so much to us all, including the many refugee mothers who inspire us daily.

At our annual fundraising dinner, Breaking Bread, Rescue Partner Awards were presented to key supporters in Utah for their dedication to supporting refugees.
