Refugee Resettlement Ministry


The NCASC's Refugee Resettlement Program is in need of essential items to help refugee families coming to Greensboro/Burlington. A refugee is a person who is forced to flee their home and country for fear of persecution due to race, religion, nationality, ethnicity, political opinion or social group. African Services Coalition has been resettling refugees since 2007. Learn about refugee resettlement facts here.
