LCFS offers social, legal, educational and health care access for foreign-born children, adults and families seeking security, safe haven and a new life in the United States.

Refugee Resettlement Services, including federally-funded assistance with family reunification, housing, employment, access to health care and education are offered to hundreds of refugees each year in the five-county Southeast Pennsylvania area, and now in central PA through the new Lancaster office. Provided in collaboration with previously-settled relatives and volunteers from local congregations, refugee resettlement services are intended to effect a smooth transition to life in the local community and to promote economic self-sufficiency. For information, call (215) 747-7500, (717) 397-4757.  or contact the program administrator at refugee@lcfsinpa.org.

Please see our list of volunteer opportunities.

For information about providing material aid to newly-arriving refugees please see non-cash donations.
