On Saturday, September 14, 2017 the International Rescue Committee in Silver Spring and Play-Well TEKnologies invited refugee youth, their families and the local community to come together for a day revolving around connection, community, and most importantly, play. Refugee youth and their families built their hometowns and countries out of LEGO bricks, and then the local community was invited to build Washington, DC with them out of 40,000 LEGOs.

Soryi Am, former refugee from Cambodia, was the graphic designer behind materials for the new Soft Landing Fund. Learn about her story and how you can support refugees in the Bay Area with the cost of housing.

The IRC in Charlottesville hosted Refuge and Renewal: Stories of Hope, a fundraiser and storytelling event in collaboration with WTJU radio. Former refugee clients shared personal narratives through panel discussions focused on lived experience and the power of storytelling. With over 100 attendees and a significant amount of money raised, the event celebrated resilience, fostered community connection, and supported ongoing services for IRC clients.

The IRC in Richmond is committed to bringing our refugee clients from harm to home. As a part of that commitment, we provide them with necessities – such as clothing and household items – they will need to start rebuilding their lives here. To do this, the IRC relies on donated items from community partners that are passed into the hands of our clients free of charge.
