How to Get Involved in Supporting Refugees: A Comprehensive List of Initiatives

Written by Jessica Fuentes | Apr 1, 2022 7:00:00 PM

The global humanitarian crisis is one of the most pressing issues of our time. More than 65 million people have been forcibly displaced from their homes, and that number is only growing. As people flee violence, persecution, war, or disaster, they often find themselves in very difficult circumstances. It can be hard to know how to help refugees and support them in their time of need.

That's why we decided to compile a list of initiatives to support!
