TOGETHER, WE DELIVER HOPE.
We're providing critical support for refugees at home in Utah and around the world. Your gift powers aid shipments to communities affected by crisis, cares for refugee expectant mothers with supplies and guidance, and gives newly resettled refugee families a warm welcome to Utah.

Our volunteer-powered humanitarian warehouse in American Fork is the heart of our international aid. Here, we collect, sort, pack, and ship millions of essential items to refugees in hotspots and disaster zones like Jordan, Ukraine, Somaliland, Bangladesh, California, and more.
Why do we ship from Utah? Because with in-kind donations, discounted shipping, and donated labor, we stretch every dollar further—delivering $250 worth of aid for every $10 donated. And because we listen closely to the communities we serve, every box is filled with exactly what’s needed.

Starting over in a new country is tough—add pregnancy into the mix, and it can feel impossible. Refugee moms in Utah face unfamiliar healthcare systems, language barriers, and a lack of personalized support.
Our Maternal Health Program pairs each expecting mom with a trained support volunteer who checks in weekly and provides real, hands-on help every step of the way. This personalized care reduces stress, builds confidence, and helps new moms feel seen and loved as they start a new chapter.

Families resettling in Utah through the official US Refugee Admissions Program face the daunting challenge of starting over—often after a long journey of instability, conflict, and displacement. Our Welcome Program partners with local resettlement agencies to ensure these families are met with essentials, dignity, and community.
We fully furnish apartments with everything needed, like beds, cookware, stuffed animals, and handmade quilts. Since 2021, we’ve set up over 970 apartments for families from over 20 countries. Read Joyce’s story here.
