Together We Flourish: Sustaining Stability & Hope for Refugees in Uncertain Times
Help Families Flourish in the Greater Sacramento Region
Ongoing changes in immigration policies and growing uncertainty are creating new challenges for many families across the Greater Sacramento Region—especially refugees and other immigrants who arrived through legal pathways seeking safety and stability. Many families who had worked hard to rebuild their lives are now facing renewed uncertainty after finally beginning to establish stability in our community.
At World Relief Sacramento, our mission is to walk alongside refugees and immigrants as they integrate into life in our community, building safe, stable, and thriving futures. Integration support and a welcoming community help families move toward self-sufficiency—but this progress doesn’t happen overnight. Families need ongoing support, trusted relationships, and people walking alongside them every step of the way.
Through partnerships with local churches, donors, volunteers, and community organizations, families receive critical support to find employment, access healthcare, strengthen language and education skills, and build lasting stability for their children and future generations. Together, we are making a global impact locally here in the Greater Sacramento Region.
Helping these families is not a faraway issue—it is an investment in our shared community. These are our neighbors. Their children attend our schools, they work in local businesses and essential industries we rely on, and they contribute every day to the strength and diversity of Sacramento.
This Big Day of Giving, You Can Help Families Flourish: Your generosity sustains the integration support families need during uncertain times. Your gift helps provide trusted guidance, housing and employment support, case management, and assistance meeting urgent needs like food access when other resources fall short.
Together, through World Relief Sacramento and the power of church and community partnership, we can ensure immigrant and refugee families are welcomed, supported, and able to build thriving lives here at home.

Global Mission: World Relief is a global Christian humanitarian organization that boldly engages the world’s greatest crises in partnership with the local church.
Local Mission (Sacramento): To provide extended case management and vital support services to refugees and vulnerable immigrants as they rebuild their lives in our community.
Sweeping and severe federal policy shifts have left many refugees without support and funding for refugee services decimated. Despite reduced arrivals, the Greater Sacramento Region has tens of thousands of refugees and immigrants already living here. Many of these individuals and families are not only eligible for our services but heavily rely on them throughout their long-term integration journeys.
Our staff expertise, cultural competence, and 37 years of building trusted relationships within the refugee community make us uniquely positioned to respond to this critical moment.
We need your help to sustain this essential and life-changing work. Through your donations and support, you are helping us retain staff, mobilize volunteers, provide core services, and guide refugees on a path to integration and self-sufficiency. When refugee families successfully integrate and make contributions to the community, we flourish together.
Policies may change, but compassion doesn’t have to. Join World Relief Sacramento's work as we help unify the community, challenge divisive and false narratives about immigrants, love our neighbors as ourselves, and demonstrate that we are a community that refugees and immigrants can turn to in their time of need.
The Example of Jesus - As we serve those who are suffering from poverty and injustice, regardless of color, belief or gender, as part of God’s plan to redeem, reconcile and restore the world. We seek to follow Jesus by living holy, humble and honest lives individually and corporately.
The Local Church - As a primary agent of bringing peace, justice and love to a broken world. The integrated “word” and “deed” dimensions of God’s mandate, as evidenced through the church’s integral, or transformational, mission is necessary to bringing reconciliation and restoration to God, others and the environment.
People - Whether staff, volunteers, clients, program participants, donors and partners - as important actors in bringing peace, love and justice. We recognize and affirm World Relief as a multicultural organization and seek to understand and respect the multiplicity of cultures among us. As we seek change in the world, we recognize that we, too, are changed by those we serve.
Excellence/Continuous Improvement - In all our program initiatives and support services, following best practices and standards in a manner that is sustainable to the community from a spiritual, social and economic perspective. We also seek to apply our human and financial resources in such ways that maximize impact and sustain benefits to the greatest number of people.
Empowerment - By prioritizing the leadership and participation of those we serve - whether people, churches or local institutions - as critical to creating and sustaining change. We seek to catalyze a movement of worldwide volunteers to multiply impact, and we value capacity-building as a means towards that end.
Partnership - By seeking, facilitating and promoting collaboration among all stakeholders, including local governments, the worldwide church, mission agencies, other NGOs and the business community, recognizing partnership as essential to serving the most vulnerable. We believe each expression of the worldwide church has a unique and interdependent role in bringing peace and justice to the world.
Prayer - As the priority and foundation to accomplishing our mission.
