Mission, Vision, and Values. World Relief around the World. We believe God has equipped the church - the most diverse social network on the planet - to leverage its time, energy and resources like never before to join the vulnerable in their time of need.

World Relief Seattle has worked since 1979 to empower the local church to serve refugees and immigrants in the Greater Seattle Area. Originally founded to care for those fleeing war in Southeast Asia, we have since grown to resettle refugees from almost 50 countries. We are encouraged by the many churches, businesses, and individuals who use their resources and ingenuity to enhance the lives of refugees and immigrants throughout Western Washington.

When violence or persecution drives people from their homes, we provide the basic services and support refugees need to rebuild their lives. We support newly-arriving refugees to prepare, keep and excel at their first job in the United States. Participate in a Refugee Simulation!

Mission, Vision and Values. World Relief Tri-Cities Quarterly Emails. Items We Need for New Refugees. We help refugees and other immigrants with employment and related services so that they can move toward self-sufficiency as quickly as possible. Refugees work hard and quickly start sending money back to friends and relatives for food, medicine and other basic needs. A job here literally saves lives in desperate places around the world.
