STAND/with me

Volunteering with World Relief Garden Grove equips individuals with professional and spiritual development tools to impact the globe and further God’s Kingdom. Join us in our efforts to bring hope to the suffering. We hope to engage refugees in the local Church by connecting refugee families to American friends through our volunteer services. Our volunteers are a vital component of the resettlement process as they provide an ongoing cultural orientation to America, and most importantly, friendship.

Making a Home

World Relief Garden Grove begins preparing homes for refugees before they even arrive. By providing clean, nice, and fully stocked homes for incoming refugees, we are able to welcome them with open arms. Building a comfortable home for our new neighbors communicates the compassionate love of Jesus -- find out how your community can get involved in an apartment set up.

STAND/with Volunteers

Volunteers play a vital role in supporting World Relief’s work. World Relief Garden Grove, we hope to engage refugees with the local Church by connecting refugee families to American friends through our volunteer services. Volunteers stand at the end of a refugee’s long flight to freedom, by doing simple things like preparing apartments, teaching English, and finding jobs. Volunteers quickly become a refugee’s first friends in the United States.

  • STAND/for the vulnerable

    Every second of every day children are orphaned by disease, women are widowed by conflicts, families are devastated by natural disasters and refugees are relocated to new countries. These are the heartbreaking stories of the vulnerable. We believe God has equipped the church -- the most diverse social network on the planet -- to be at the center of these stories, leveraging time, energy and resources to join the vulnerable in their time of need.
