International Rescue Committee (IRC)

The IRC in San Diego

IRC's New Land Bank

Each year, thousands of refugees are invited by the U.S. government to seek safety and freedom.  Forced to flee conflict or persecution, many refugees have survived against incredible odds. Refugees step off the plane with next to nothing but their dignity, hope and determination.  In San Diego, the IRC helps refugees to rebuild their lives.

The IRC in San Diego has recently established a Land Bank to match refugee farmers with available land.  Learn more at Rescue.org/sdlandbank.    Photo: Sandy Huffaker/The IRC
