Our Founding
In the spring of 2016, a coalition of Morris County area faith-based organizations, a community of Christians, Jews and Muslims came together to address the refugee crisis. Refugee Assistance Morris Partners, RAMP was formed. RAMP is working with International Rescue Service (IRC), and Church World Service to bring Middle Eastern and Afghan families to the Morris County area for resettlement. We give these families hope for a better future. We want to be a bridge for refugees to cross from life in their country of origin to a new productive and hopeful life in the United States.
Our Work
RAMP provides intensive support
for refugee families providing
- Housing, furnishings and utilities

Our Goal
The problem can seem overwhelming, over 32.5 million people from around the world are refugees. We feel obligated by our consciences and our faith to do whatever we can to help.
As of 2023, we have welcomed and supported nine families, that includes 18 adults and 17 children. One family is from Syria, and the others are from Afghanistan.
Our support typically lasts over a year. This comprehensive and intensive support allows families to become independent and productive neighbors and friends.
The poem from Fear to Security was written by Lona T. at age 10. She is one of the refugee children in a RAMP's first sponsored family.
