In the past year, the International Welcome Center (IWC) has experienced remarkable growth and deeper connections, giving us many reasons to celebrate! We continue to serve over 200 refugees and immigrants of all ages and starting from Day 91.

I am excited to share that this year we became a Resettlement and Placement partner with World Relief, allowing us to welcome refugees starting from Day 1 at the airport. So far, we have welcomed five families—two from Colombia, two from Afghanistan, and one from Qatar.

When you support the International Welcome Center, you help empower the foreign-born in the greater Akron area! 

Our goal is to raise $50,000 to continue supporting refugees and immigrants with the services they need to be empowered and integrate into our community – starting from day one! Please consider generously sponsoring our event.
