International Rescue Committee (IRC)

The IRC in San Diego

Each year, thousands of refugees are invited by the U.S. government to seek safety and freedom.  Forced to flee conflict or persecution, many refugees have survived against incredible odds. Refugees step off the plane with next to nothing but their dignity, hope and determination.  In San Diego, the IRC helps refugees to rebuild their lives.

Thank you for your generous support of the IRC in San Diego Annual Appeal.  We exceeded our goal.   Photo by Shaun Boyte  More photos »
