No one chooses to be a refugee. We can choose to help.

Join me in helping refugee families! International Counseling and Community Services provides one-on-one counseling and support to survivors of torture, war, and other atrocities. We serve more than 350 clients a year. Most arrive to this country with one suitcase and the hope of building a new life in America. The typical family of 4 at our clinic lives on less than $10,000 a year and for that reason, many basic needs go unmet. This includes basic hygiene items like laundry soap, shampoo, towels, socks, coats and blankets, and life-saving pharmaceuticals.

We are asking for your help! Please consider helping us contact others who share a commitment to providing sanctuary to the world’s most vulnerable people, and asking them to make that adjustment to America just a little bit easier. Any amount they give goes directly and completely to support client needs.

Today is World Refugee Day and You can help a refugee family in need (sent June 20)

We here at LCSNW work to help refugees adjust and thrive in their new adopted home. Please consider helping a recently arrived refugee family by supporting our work today!

International Counseling and Community Services (ICCS) and Multicultural Community Services (MCS)
