Dallas County welcomes, supports, and values immigrant, refugee, and marginalized communities as integral members of our community. As one of the most diverse and fastest growing counties in the United States, immigrants and refugees are, and will continue to be, a vital part of the civic, economic, and social life of Dallas County. Dallas County will stand with organizations and groups that provide aide and services to immigrants and refugees.

Below is a list of resources we have identified that may be able to help depending on your needs; it was adapted primarily from the "Directory of Refugee Service Agencies" of the Volunteer Guide to Refugee Service Agencies in Dallas/Fort Worth c/o Linda Abramson Evans, United Nations Association USA-Dallas Chapter, www.dallas-una.org. Further resources have been added for immigration and other community services.
