Welcome Home Jersey City
Welcome Home Jersey City is an all-volunteer organization who partners with local government, businesses, and other like-minded, not-for-profit organizations to help support local refugees and asylees in the Greater Jersey City area.
We were once again invited this year to participate in @princeton pumpkin carving event 🎃 Our families and volunteers enjoyed a day full of fall festivities such as corn toss, face painting, & football. Thank you to the Office of Religious Life for having us! 🧡

Syrian music brings a rich and diverse blend of cultural influences, from traditional Arabic melodies to contemporary fusion styles. And South African music brings a vibrant and diverse mix of sounds that reflect the country’s rich cultural tapestry and history. ![]()

Do you remember Riva? She inspired us last winter by setting up a hot cocoa stand to raise money for Welcome Home. This summer she rolled up her sleeves again and set up a lemonade stand, did a book sale, and raised $123!![]()

Great news! We’re very excited to receive a $4,460 grant from Healthier JC to fund our signature program, Fun Club! ![]()

Healthier JC was established in 2014 as a partner office of the JC Department of Health and Human Services to build a culture of health in Jersey City.![]()

They saw that Fun Club is a special safe/open community space for our refugee friends to gain a sense of community and mental wellness. At Fun Club, our friends also get information on health insurance, hospitals/clinics, and what to expect during a doctor’s visit with a translator and advocate as needed.![]()

Thank you, Healthier JC, for the timely support and understanding how mental wellness is important for the refugee community!![]()
