Since 1979, we have been working alongside the community to welcome refugees and immigrants to Southern California. For decades, we have put biblical teachings about hospitality into practice, fostered friendships, created welcoming communities, and overcome fear with kindness. As immigration policies change and impact communities, we have responded by expanding our work beyond refugees to include all immigrants as they rebuild a sense of home in Southern California.

At World Relief Southern California, we value empowerment, cultural diversity, integrity, and mutually transformative relationships. We provide services to all individuals, regardless of color, gender, or belief. We strive to be a sustainable and holistic center of compassion and practical support by offering a suite of services to meet community needs and build welcoming communities.
