An Urgent Need in a Perilous Time
We help refugee families from around the world resettle in Jersey City. Today, we face new challenges in continuing to support those who have fled violence and persecution. Please join us in making a difference during this critical time.
Join Us for World Refugee Day
In June each year, on World Refugee Day, we celebrate refugees’ contributions and seek to build empathy and understanding for their plight and their resilience to build a bright future. The day is seen as an opportunity for everyone to experience, understand and celebrate “the rich diversity” of the communities of refugees.
“Families come here and start from zero. It isn’t easy. Welcome Home is a place where they can help you with anything and everyone is so friendly, you feel like they see you as family.”
—Jamil, Afghanistan
