Building Community Together.
Georgia’s trusted advocate for new refugees, helping to secure housing and ensure a smooth and seamless transition for our state’s newest and ever-resilient residents.
Welcome
The Welcome Co-op provides a welcoming home for refugees where they can find immediate safety and stability to begin a new life.
Refugees
Alongside our partner agencies we help thousands of refugees arriving into the Atlanta area become thriving members of our communities.
Community
We operate a donation-driven thrift store, the Shop of Hope, providing clothing and shoes at no cost to refugees.
A collaborative effort
As a collaborative effort between four storied institutions—New American Pathways, the International Rescue Committee (IRC) in Atlanta, Catholic Charities Atlanta, and Inspiritus—the Welcome Co-op marshals the collective resources of each organization to make an impact even greater than the sum of its parts.
Creative partnerships
Together, we create partnerships with apartment complexes and affordable housing arrangements around the Atlanta area. We welcome refugees from the moment they step foot on American soil and transition them into new homes.
