Refugees are proven victims of persecution that have been forced to flee their home country in search of hope and a safe place to live. They’re unable to return home because they’re at risk for persecution due to race, nationality, race, or membership in a political social group or political opinion.

Portland, Oregon is home to thousands of refugees, receiving 1,200-1,500 refugees on an average year. Your donation supports efforts to care for refugees living in Portland, particularly in the first few months of transition.
