"The International Rescue Committee—IRC—was founded in 1933 to help people escape Nazi Germany, and now offers food, water, and healthcare to people displaced by emergencies or war. Once those people are resettled, the IRC helps them become citizens and integrate into their new culture. After visiting a refugee camp in Thailand that the IRC provides assistance to, I was touched by the human ability to adapt when given the right tools."
- Actress and IRC Voice Rashida Jones, one of eight celebrities who are featured in Oprah Magazine this month, talking about the charities that are closest to their hearts. She suggests two ways readers can make a difference during the holidays: giving a Rescue Gift or organizing a fundraising event to support the IRC's work.
