The Welcome to America Project

The Welcome to America Project (WTAP) furnishes the apartments of refugees resettled by the United Nations to the Phoenix area. We collect high quality, donated furniture and household items from local donors and, with a corps of volunteers from the community, deliver these furnishings to refugee families soon after they arrive from war-torn or oppressed regions around the world. WTAP has two ongoing, primary goals: 1) to furnish the bare accommodations of newly arrived refugees with high quality, comfortable home furnishings and essentials and, 2) to build bridges of neighborly understanding between the local community and newly arrived refugees.
