Whatcom Refugee Project

FBC is partnering with the Whatcom Refugee Resettlement Project; click here to head to their website learn more, get involved, and see their latest webinars. 


The Whatcom Refugee Project consists of a group of volunteers and interested individuals from different faith communities, nonprofits and other organizations who are striving to answer the question:  Can Whatcom County become a community which truly welcomes the stranger, not just with words but through tangible deeds of love, generosity and humility?  

On a practical level, this has meant pursuing the opportunity to open a local office for refugee resettlement by partnering with the national organization World Relief—an agency which has empowered others to serve immigrants and refugees since the aftermath of World War II.  Pending government approval as a resettlement site, we could begin to see refugees permanently resettled locally as soon as the first quarter of 2022.
