After the end of World War I, more than 600 American Friends Service Committee (AFSC) volunteers conducted relief work in Europe. During World War II, AFSC volunteers helped Japanese Americans in relocation camps, and established offices in Spain, Portugal, Switzerland, China, and India to provide food, clothing, and other assistance to refugees. A Quaker team was also the first civilian group in Normandy after the D-Day invasion.
