HOPE, HELP, & HONOR FOR REFUGEES IN HOUSTON

We are mobilizing our city to welcome refugees with compassion, hope, and honor as they resettle and start a new life in Houston.

We are anticipating serving more than 300 new Afghan refugees in our city over the next six weeks. There are THREE practical ways you can help!

  1. Join a Welcome Team
  2. Donate items for Welcome Kit
  3. Purchase items from Amazon Wish List Welcome Team

Volunteer Welcome Teams, made up of 4-10 people, partner with a refugee family during their first six months in Houston. Welcome Teams connect refugees with critical resources and community, act as a support system, and honor and esteem refugees with the gift of friendship.

Welcome Kit- Refugees arrive in the United States with very little and have to quickly begin their lives over again. Welcome Kits are filled with household items that provide refugees the starting essentials needed in their new homes. The hope is that these kits would honor refugees arriving in Houston, welcoming them with dignity, while also meeting a very tangible need. You can find the Welcome Kit List here.

Amazon Wish List- For a "contact-free" volunteer opportunity, you can purchase additional items online and have them shipped directly to Houston Welcomes Refugees. You can find their Amazon Wish List here.
