Special Update: Exodus is mobilizing volunteers to meet urgent needs, provide practical care, and befriend resettled refugee neighbors across Chicagoland. We anticipate that up to 500 refugee families will experience significant food insecurity this fall due to funding freezes. Sign up to provide culturally appropriate groceries in a friendly visit that offers encouragement and care. The U.S. refugee resettlement program continues to experience record low admissions. Exodus strongly supports the full resumption of the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program for all refugees in need of safety and resettlement. (Updated 10/31/25)
