Since 1946 the cooperative effort of Christian churches through
Church World Service has been instrumental in enabling over 400,000 refugees
to find new homes in the U.S.. Building a hospitable environment for repatriation,
local integration and resettlement makes a world of difference for refugees
trying to find a place they can call home.
