Western MA Welcome Center
About
The single most important factor in a refugee's success or failure in their new home is the presence or absence of a genuine friend.
Our WARM Welcome Center is for refugees and volunteers to meet together in a safe and comfortable space in West Springfield. English classes, women's groups, men's game nights, and play groups for young moms are meeting each week to build community. We would love to see you there!
Story
In May 2025, we signed the lease for the Welcome Center and began dreaming, painting, furnishing, and decorating. So many volunteers came together to make the space beautiful and functional.
"I was a stranger and you welcomed me..."
~Jesus
We welcome refugees because we want to see them thrive physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually in Western Massachusetts. To this end, we provide essential programs and services that facilitate genuine friendships.
