Learn moreWelcome.US is a national initiative built to inspire, mobilize, and empower Americans to welcome and support those seeking refuge in the United States and help them thrive. The response from all corners of the country has been remarkable.
2 million+ Americans across all 50 states and in over 12,000 zip codes have filed applications to bring newcomers in need of refuge to safety.
42 of America's most influential companies are mobilizing resources, innovations, and employees to support those seeking refuge.
440+ organizations from across the country are supporting newcomers and powering a nationwide welcome movement.
Welcoming starts with you
Over the last year, hundreds of thousands of people across the country have stepped up to support refugee newcomers.
“The work of resettlement of vulnerable families is a different kind of love, and it's a different kind of patriotism, in the fact that you are carving out new ground for yourself and for your community and for a family who will be forever grateful.”
“We weren’t prepared for the kind of friendship and relationship that we would develop, and for realizing that all the tangible needs that we met were great. But what they really have appreciated, and what has really helped them move forward, is community.”
“I think we have a moral obligation as Americans to help others that are coming here from harder circumstances and helping them with restarting their lives and welcoming them here in America.”
