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!
