Thank you to ALL who have helped!

Thank you to all who have helped. If you donated a small toy, truck loads of stuff, a few hours of your time or just said a prayer for us, you have done so much! All the gifts are packed up and ready to be delivered tomorrow and we could not have done it without all of you. God is great and so are His children! Keep us in your prayers and have a Merry Christmas!

Donations for Christmas Needed!

World Relief is getting ready for Christmas and needs your help. We want to provide our families with a Merry first Christmas in America and you can help make it happen!
We’re looking for people of all ages to chip in and donate a new or gently used toy for a little boy or girl. It doesn’t have to be anything specific, or if you want, we can give you the family’s information so you know just what to get.

Looking to get more involved? There’s so much you can do, from collecting gifts, sorting and wrapping, delivering or you can go all the way and adopt a family for Christmas!

Adopting a family does not involve taking them into your home to live. It can mean inviting them over for dinner or gathering gifts for each member. The sky is the limit!

This is a great project for individuals and groups of all shapes and sizes and any help you or your group can be will be greatly appreciated. Call to find out more today!

Welcome!

Did you know Jacksonville is home to refugees from over 40 countries? Each year our office resettles up to 300 clients in the Jacksonville area. Our job is to get them connected in the community, helping them to become self sufficient and an asset to our community.

Where do you come in? We're always looking for volunteers to help our clients adjust to a new culture. Befriending a refugee is rewarding in so many ways!

Don't have the time for hands on right now? That's fine too! Any time you have old furniture or a jacket that just isn't your style anymore or if your kids have outgrown their toys, call us. We need donations year round, so we'll be glad to take household goods, clothes and toys off your hands.

Thanks for checking us out and be sure to come back for more!
