We help refugees and other immigrants with employment and related services so that they can move toward self-sufficiency as quickly as possible. Refugees work hard and quickly start sending money back to friends and relatives for food, medicine and other basic needs. A job here literally saves lives in desperate places around the world.
We help new refugees with their basic needs upon arrival in the United States. We join with churches, volunteers and the community to provide much needed help and hope.
We guide refugees through the long process of reuniting with family members left behind and help refugees and other immigrants apply for U.S. Citizenship. Your support allows us to help anguished parents see their children after years of separation.
Local Churches and World Relief Tri-Cities Volunteers reach out to refugees showing the love of Christ in practical ways. As they do, lifelong friendships develop and the lives of both the refugees and volunteers are forever changed.
Are you ready for a cross cultural experience right here in the Tri-Cities? Refugee mentorship for individual volunteers and sponsorship for group volunteers is a wonderful way to share the love of Christ with people from around the world coming to the United States to escape persecution.
