In observation of Ramadan, the IRC in NY hosted a beautiful Iftar in the office on Wednesday, April 12th. The staff gathered to transform the office into an elegant dining space, setting up tables with dates and water, for clients and friends in attendance. The staff teamed up to host, decorate, and prepare the food for the Iftar. Ahmed, our Senior Finance Manager led the Adhan (call to prayer), after which friends and family prayed the sunset prayer and of course, ate!  

Cultivating welcome and integration is a collective effort. Together, we are turning hope into action in our communities. Join us in getting to know how dynamic supporters Fred and Adele at the IRC in Seattle are transforming lives.

For World Food Day, we are spotlighting two of our New Roots growers, Anezi and Egide, who were some of the first farmers to go through the IRC Tucson’s New Roots Micro-Producer Academy (MPA) program in 2017.

New Roots is a food security program that focuses on giving our clients the opportunity to grow their own produce and also turn around and sell that produce if they so choose.

The International Rescue Committee filed an amicus brief in support of this litigation and the national injunction on June 2, with partners. This brief reinforces our commitment to the US refugee resettlement system, the communities where we work, and the refugees who seek to rebuild their lives here in safety and freedom.

At the IRC, we are doing more than just imagining a different future for women and girls affected by conflict and crisis. We’re focusing our resources and capabilities to help break down each of the barriers they face.
