Since 2020, the IRC in Silver Spring experienced a 500% increase in the number of individuals we serve. The IRC in Silver Spring is committed to help refugees and immigrants rebuild their lives in the United States. We need you, our supporters in the community, to ensure the newest members of our communities thrive.

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.

The IRC in Silver Spring is supporting vulnerable refugee women by removing barriers to their employment, by offering English instruction, socialization and specialized cultural orientation.
