International Neighbors has served over 800 of our nearly 4,000 refugee and SIV neighbors living in Charlottesville City and Albemarle County. These families have escaped violence and persecution to live in the safety and security of our small, friendly community. Our programs have given our neighbors the tools and networks needed to move from surviving to thriving.
"International Neighbors puts the human in humanity."
"They give to us what money can not buy… hope."
"I love International Neighbors. I want to be a Great Neighbor too."

We’re all in this together
The unprecedented health and social crisis in our country, and around the world, has touched every aspect of our lives. And it is disproportionately impacting our refugee and SIV neighbors, who already struggle with language, social, and financial hurdles. Many of our neighbors have lost their service industry jobs and, without the safety nets available to most of us, they need urgent help. We’ve identified some immediate needs, and as the situation evolves we expect there will be more. Please give if you are able to.
We’re all in this together, even if we must maintain social distancing.
Here, you’ll find information and resources to help navigate the current crisis. We’ll make updates as frequently as possible.
