World Relief - Jacksonville
Category: Business Tax Status: Non-profit
The Mission of World Relief, as originated within the National Association of Evangelicals, is to work with, for and from the Church to relieve human suffering, poverty and hunger worldwide in the name of Jesus Christ. In the fourteenth most populated city in America, World Relief and partner Christina churches are bringing new hope to refugee families. Many refugees arrive in Florida with nothing more than the clothes they are wearing when they step off the plane. They face the daunting prospect of rebuilding their broken lives in a 'strange' new land where they know no one. World Relief and partners welcome new arrivals and make them feel at home in Jacksonville. We provide vital assistance during the 'early days' after a family's arrival - helping them find accommodation, employment and adjust to American life.

Solace for the Children
Category: Cultural, Health Tax Status: Non-profit
Solace For The Children is a 501(c)3 organization of volunteers that provides medical and dental care to needy children. We do this primarily through a summer hosting program in which children from Afghanistan come to the United States and stay with American families during the summer for six weeks while they receive treatment. The cost of bringing the children here is covered by sponsoring churches or other groups in the area. The local medical community donates their services to treat these special children. As you might imagine, hosting one of these children is a life-changing experience, but the effects reach beyond individual homes. Friendships develop between Afghan children of differing ethnic backgrounds, host families of differing denominations, Afghans and Americans, and local Christian and Muslim volunteers. Solace For The Children believes that these relationships are the beginning of a foundation for lasting peace between Americans and Afghans, one person at a time. Acting on that belief, we are taking steps to grow from a local non-profit to a national humanitarian group, serving many more children.
