Support WelcomeCorps in D.C.: Help a Refugee Family

Donation protected
We are excited to introduce you to WelcomeCorps, a groundbreaking initiative that's redefining how communities welcome refugees to the United States. This program is a bold innovation in refugee resettlement, and your support is crucial to its success.

We are District Dreamers, and along with your support, we'll be welcoming a family of four to the Washington, D.C. area.

What is WelcomeCorps?
By joining forces in groups of five or more, community members become sponsors (that's us, District Dreamers!), helping refugees navigate the transition to life in the U.S. With the support of WelcomeCorps and a local resettlement organization, we will assist a refugee family integrate into the D.C. area as they build their new life in the U.S.

Why Support WelcomeCorps?
This initiative is about creating lasting connections between newcomers and their new communities. As sponsors, we'll play a vital role in fostering a sense of belonging for refugees and reinforcing our nation's tradition of compassion and support.

How Can You Help?
Your contributions will directly support the family of four we are sponsoring. The funds you help us raise will go towards housing and providing basic necessities like furniture and household goods, clothing, pocket money for the first 30 days, and food.

Join us in making a difference. Every donation, no matter the size, brings us closer to creating a welcoming a new family in D.C.
