Ukraine Welcome Circles
Learn how you can welcome and help a Ukrainian family.
The Archdiocese of Seattle’s Immigrant and Refugee Ministry is participating in Ukraine Welcome Circles, a pilot program funded by the USCCB’s Migration and Refugee to help resettle Ukrainian refugee families. The goal of the program is to create welcome circles for Ukraine families, providing them with the tools, connections, information and financial support they need to settle in the United States.
What are welcome circles?
A welcome circle is a group of 5-20 people who come together to provide wrap around support for the family, housing, jobs, benefits, healthcare, give them rides, apartment, being a friend and more.
