The IRC provides assistance to immigrants and refugees, including a Friend of the Family program that provides support to refugee families by ensuring their basic survival skills, assists them with practical needs and referral to appropriate resources and offers friendly encouragement as refugees become familiar with American and local customs:

• ESL Tutors, who help refugee clients to acquire basic English skills needed for employment and life situations;
• a Job Search Mentor, who helps a refugee find a job, researches job opportunities and helps newly arrived refugees secure employment;
• Computer Repair involving volunteers with an understanding of computer hardware and software who help the IRC prepare donated computers for refugee use;
• Computer Training, involving volunteers to guide refugees through typing lessons, web navigation, and basic software operation to improve refugees' familiarity and comfort with computers.
• Donations Assistance that is intended to help refugees find blankets, televisions, kitchenware and more! nBy calling local organizations and businesses in search of donations, volunteers help provide refugees with important items that will aide in their acclimation to American life. This assistance includes the pick up of donated goods and transportation of them to a storage unit or to a refugee's home.
