International Rescue Committee in Iowa

Today we celebrate Nowruz, Eid al‑Fitr, and the International Day of Happiness—a beautiful convergence of renewal, gratitude, generosity, and hope. Across traditions, this day reminds us of new beginnings, shared joy, and caring for one another. Wishing everyone a blessed, joyful day filled with peace and happiness. 💛✨

Feeling at home shouldn’t be a privilege—it should be something every newcomer has the chance to experience. 💛

At IRC Iowa, we’re honored to walk alongside clients as they rebuild their lives here. Moments like this remind us why the work matters:
