Refugee Services Fund

Refugee

Support for a Strong Start

Securing housing, finding a job, meeting basic needs — these are all things refugees need help with when arriving in Minnesota. Your gift offers urgently needed assistance to refugees, parolees and new arrivals with other humanitarian statuses. Your gift offers our clients:

  • Housing services
  • Job placement and assistance
  • Case management support
  • Specialized assistance on a needed basis

Your donation supports refugee families from all around the world, including from Afghanistan and Ukraine. And thanks to you, we will be ready to respond at a moment’s notice when the next refugee crisis emerges.

Note: Due to executive order, the federally sponsored Reception and Placement Program is currently paused. Your gift will support refugees who arrived in Minnesota prior to January 20, 2025.

  • We have found a peace that we didn’t have for more than 20 years. We have found people that we can call friends, neighbors, and especially we have people that care about us and are helping us to settle in this country, which is not an easy thing.
