Heartland Alliance hosts impactful events, activities, and campaigns throughout the year in addition to connecting over 1000 active volunteers to long-term opportunities. Please see below for a few options on how to join us in becoming Courageous Champion of human rights!

URGENT NEED: Help our Afghan Refugees

Heartland Alliance unites in solidarity with the people of Afghanistan and seeks to provide safety, healing, and justice for the Afghan people. The Alliance welcomes Afghans families and unaccompanied children to Chicago as we work to resettle them and connect them to essential services, including education, employment, housing, case management, wellness and family support services. We need your help as we work to assist this newly arriving group. Make an Impact with our Afghan Refugees by completing a Refugee and Immigrant Services Volunteer Form or by purchasing items from our Refugee and Immigrant Services  Amazon wish list.
