Immigrant Welcoming Center (IWC)
The Welcoming Center team is a group of immigrants and refugees who have experienced the helplessness of not knowing the ins and outs of living in Chicago. We can empathize with immigrants who are not able to speak enough English to inform the doctor regarding the symptoms of their illnesses. By God’s grace we have acculturated and would like to help those that might still be struggling to be integrated and be able to benefit from this land of opportunity. Our goal is to help vulnerable immigrants to become contributing citizens.
