The IRC in Wichita is committed to bringing our beneficiaries from harm to home. As part of that commitment, we provide the necessities they will need to start rebuilding their lives here in Wichita.

We have a number of new arrivals scheduled to resettle in Wichita in August and are in dire need of the household items.
