Every minute,

20 people are forced to flee their homes due to war, violence, and persecution. Often, they'll travel hundreds of miles to reach a safer country, bringing only what they could carry. Once they arrive, they'll be known as a "refugee"— a title that threatens to define their existence indefinitely. But refugees are so much more than the labels placed upon them. They're people like you and me with hopes and dreams.

This World Refugee Day, join RefugePoint in standing with refugees, honoring their full stories, and making a tangible impact by participating in our 5K.
