On Thursday, June 20th, 2024, the IRC in Silver Spring celebrated its first annual Beacons of Hope Gala in celebration of World Refugee Day. With over 200 guests in attendance, the event brought together refugees and the individuals and organizations who support immigrants who serve as beacons of hope in Maryland.

The IRC in Atlanta expects to welcome 700 school-aged children to Georgia in the upcoming year and we can’t do this without YOU!
