More than 2 million American citizens in 50 states representing 12,000+ zip codes have rolled up their sleeves to do this important work of welcoming newcomers.

More than 800 community organizations nationwide partner with Welcome.US—from Rotary Clubs and Lions Clubs to local churches, chambers of commerce, veteran groups, small businesses, and civic organizations.

Welcomers and community partners support newcomers with housing, job connections, English classes, school enrollment, donated goods, and more. Through these efforts, Welcomers have contributed over $7 billion in resources.
