Do you know of any great refugee assistance organizations helping people in the Jacksonville, FL area?
I just read that Jacksonville is pretty high on a list of American cities being utilized for refugee resettlement. That rules, because I live like 30 minutes away and would love to pitch in. Do you know of any groups in the Jacksonville area that are doing good work on this issue that I should try to connect with? I'm happy to just write a check but would also definitely appreciate the chance to donate some time and effort too if that's an option.

I've bold-faced and linked to all of the agencies mentioned in the article. Regarding volunteer opportunities: I live over a thousand miles from Jacksonville, so I can't offer a personal perspective, but Catholic Charities Jacksonville, Lutheran Social Services of Northeast Florida, and the New American Welcome Center at the Jessie Ball DuPont YMCA branch all provide services to refugees and all might welcome some helping hands. posted by virago at 1:32 PM on August 31, 2021
