The International Rescue Committee, Missoula's refugee resettlement agency, is holding a fundraiser to support refugees directly this holiday season.

Show your support for the IRC in Richmond and learn about those who are displaced from their homes worldwide.

On December 3, the International Rescue Committee in Silver Spring brought together over 50 clients, volunteers, and staff for a Thanksgiving meal and afternoon of festivities. Sampling traditional American fare such as roasted turkey and cranberry sauce alongside delicacies like homemade dolmas and Syrian pastries, refugee families and IRC volunteers and staff had an opportunity to share their cultural traditions with each other and express the things that they are thankful for in their lives.

Every dollar you donate to the IRC powers life-saving humanitarian aid, creating a global ripple effect that transforms lives.
