The International Rescue Committee in Wichita is closed to staff, clients and the general public due to COVID-19. Staff will continue to communicate with clients remotely during this time.

Our amazing team in Kansas is working hard to put together and deliver essential supplies—including food—to clients across the Wichita metro area. Thank you to our community for continuing to support our work during this time! Your support makes our work possible, and for that, we could not be more grateful.

We are excited to announce a really fun way to spread positivity, kindness, and cheer. Local mom Alexis Phillips created the We Got This Challenge 2020 as a way to share positivity and make our community smile during an otherwise stressful time.

When times are tough, our community has always risen to the challenge. Today is no different. As we face the uncertainty of the coronavirus, we think of the most vulnerable in our community.

Refugee families will be disproportionately affected by the impact of COVID-19 on our community in the coming weeks. Help IRC ensure our clients have the resources and services they need to get through this trying time.
