Refugee Resettlement
Catholic Charities Community Services provides a welcoming and supportive network to help those new to our country become productive members of their new community.

Each year, we help resettle more than 1,000 refugees. Many have spent more than 10 years in refugee camps, deprived of their homes, livelihoods and basic human needs. They often arrive with little more than a suitcase. We welcome them at the airport, teach them about their new community and help them set up their new home.

You can help

Donations for a new life
Our refugees need everything—furnishings, dishes, linens, toiletries (click this link to see our wish list). Your donation of new and gently used items is tax-deductible and pick up is free. To learn more, contact Calla Floyd, 602.997.6105 ext. 51045 or cfloyd@cc-az.org. 

Volunteer
We need volunteers to help. There are a variety of volunteer opportunities, including providing transportation to and from job interviews, mentoring adults, and tutoring children. Learn more.

Hire a refugee
Refugees are an excellent resource for employers. They bring a wonderful diversity and work ethic to the workplace and they are willing and grateful for the opportunity to work. We provide on-going support for employers who hire refugees placed through our program.

Give those who had to flee their countries a second chance in life and an opportunity to realize the American dream. To learn more, contact Joseph Donald, 602.749.4425 or jdonald@cc-az.org.

Unaccompanied Refugee Minors
In addition to helping those granted refugee status by our federal government, we reunite unaccompanied minors from other countries with family members living in the United States or find stable and caring homes for those who are without family members.
