ONE WORLD ... ONE HUMANITY

Welcoming Refugees To
Portland, Oregon

The United States has a long tradition of offering refuge to those fleeing persecution and war. Oregon has always taken in refugees & immigrants from all over the world, and has been partaking in their aid and is determined to continue its efforts.

The Portland Refugee Support Group (PRSG) is dedicated to helping refugee families integrate into our society with ease and comfort, welcoming them with open arms and making them feel like family.

“My husband was shot and almost killed in Syria and became a quadriplegic. We were resettled in the U.S. PRSG was a saving grace for us. It gave us community and people who helped us navigate a new life. It helped me identify the strengths I had inside me to learn English, learn how to drive, and to become a leader for other families who came after me.”
—Faaten, Syrian refugee, PRSG client since 2016

Get Involved

We at PRSG are proud to have a GREAT group of volunteers to help the refugee families with their day-to-day needs. However, there is always a need for more volunteers, as they aren't always available.
We encourage you to reach out to us, join our team, and change a family's life.

Communicare Grant Recognition Virtual Ceremony

PRSG is honored to have been selected as a 2020 @communicareor grant recipient by Madison High School’s Peace and Justice Club. With guidance from CommuniCare, these dedicated self-led students embarked on a year-long grant making process including researching community issues, raising funds, evaluating grant proposals, interviewing nonprofits, and ultimately deciding where funds would go. Watch students Jaya and Anna talk about their experience as grant-makers. Thank you for shining a spotlight on refugees!
