Immigration & Refugee Assistance

When you are alone and uncertain, we are hope. The majority of us have been in a situation where we were in a new, unfamiliar place and surrounded by strangers. For many of the refugees coming to Buffalo, this is their reality. Catholic Charities' Immigration & Refugee Assistance Program helps to ease the unfamiliarity of a new country and culture. The program offers these sponsored refugees – forced out of their home country by war or persecution – a new start through assistance with housing, food, clothing and employment, and enrolling in English-language classes. Catholic Charities has been supporting refugees and immigrants since it was established in 1923. Catholic Charities offers hope for all seasons. For more information, go to www.ccwny.org/refugees.
