International Rescue Committee in Iowa

‼️Did you know that the IRC in Iowa offers a free, confidential, and survivor‑centered case management for adults and youth who have experienced labor or s*x trafficking and who do not have U.S. citizenship or a Green Card?

We support people by helping them access safety, basic needs, legal and medical referrals, education and employment supports, and pathways toward long‑term stability and healing. 💛

If you or someone you know may benefit from this program, help is available. Reach out to our office for more information.

We’re grateful to Greater Iowa Credit Union for featuring the International Rescue Committee in Iowa through their Give Iowa Program this past year!

Their partnership and community‑centered support help make our work possible, and we truly appreciate their commitment to uplifting organizations that strengthen Iowa communities.

Thank you, GICU! 💙

Are you or someone you know a newcomer experiencing the impacts of trauma? Remember that you’re not alone — and help is here. The STAR program is available in our Central and Eastern Iowa offices.

Last week, IRC Iowa was honored to participate in Refugee Day on the Hill, organized by Refugee Alliance of Central Iowa.
We were joined by incredible friends, colleagues, and supporters as we met with legislators to share why Iowa’s long tradition of welcoming newcomers matters now more than ever. Together, we highlighted the positive impact refugees bring to our communities and how thoughtful policies can help families continue to thrive here in Iowa.
A huge thank‑you to everyone who showed up, spoke up, and stood with us. Your partnership strengthens our work every day. 🌍

Join us and all of our friends at the 2026 Iowa Refugee & Immigrant Day on the Hill this Thursday!

We look forward to seeing everyone this Thursday for the 2026 Iowa Refugee & Immigrant Day on the Hill! If you are interested in attending, please reach out to [email protected].
