The IRC in Garden City is committed to bringing our refugee clients from harm to home.  As a part of that commitment, we provide them with necessities – such as clothing and household items – they will need to start rebuilding their lives here.  To do this, the IRC relies on donated items from community partners that are passed into the hands of our clients free of charge either through our Resettlement Shop or as part of an initial apartment setup.

Jane is the first volunteer in Garden City to serve as a mentor for youth resettled by the IRC.

One of the easiest and most impactful ways to welcome refugees to your community is to pull together your networks and social groups through a fundraiser. Now more than ever, individual private support is crucial to the work we do in resettling refugee families and our work with the immigrant community. Raising funds through group efforts with your friends and family is a great help as we head into uncertain times.

During the holiday season, the IRC gives you the opportunity to share the American spirit of giving with refugee families through the IRC in Abilene's Home for the Holidays program. By participating, you make a refugee’s first holiday in the U.S. one they will always remember.

For the fourth year running, the Dallas community has shown our refugee and immigrant families just how welcoming our city can be.  Home for the Holidays, our annual giving program, has expanded to help 60 families during this holiday season. That is 243 mothers, fathers, brothers, and sisters whose lives were changed by our community.

Every year on North Texas Giving Day, we’re reminded just how much we love North Texas.

Purchase items needed for refugee families to be delivered directly to their doorstep.

More than 50 families, friends, church and civic groups came together to gather items refugee families prioritized on their wish lists, such as vacuums, televisions, and household items for over 55 newly arrived refugee families and individuals. More than $20,000 worth of in-kind donations were collected and distributed during the month of December to these families.
