Welcome to IRC Miami!
Our office in Miami opened in 1960 mainly to assist refugees fleeing the revolution in Cuba. Since then, the office has resettled tens of thousands of refugees from all over the world. In 2000, the Miami office expanded its services to asylees and Cuban lottery parolees. The IRC provides a wide range of services to refugees in all stages of resettlement and seeks to promote each refugee family's search for self-sufficiency.

Car Donations: Limited local public transportation in Miami makes it challenging for newly arrived refugees to get to work. IRC Miami will donate your car directly to a refugee family, making your donation fully tax deductible to the extent allowed by law.
Adopt a family: Our adoption program symbolizes what your cash gift contribution can do through the work of the IRC for newly arrived refugees, asylees, parolees & victims of human trafficking. Your cash donation will help the IRC Miami supplement the assistance provided to our families. All Donations to the IRC are tax deductible. To make a donation click here or contact Miami@theirc.org
