What is Church World Service?
 
Church World Service (CWS) was born in 1946, in the aftermath of World War II.  Seventeen denominations came together to form an agency “to do in partnership what none of us could hope to do as well alone.”  The mission: Feed the hungry, clothe the naked, heal the sick, comfort the aged, shelter the homeless.  CWS has a commitment to serve the most vulnerable in our world today.  From its earliest beginnings, CWS focused on providing assistance and resettlement services to those displaced by violence and discrimination.
