CARE FOR REFUGEES
DFW IS THE LARGEST RECIPIENT OF REFUGEES IN THE COUNTRY AND WILL CONTINUE TO WELCOME THEM FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD
Most Dallas-bound refugees are settled in a community called Vickery Meadow, and dozens of churches and nonprofits have been serving it for years. You can be part of a joint effort of Christians across the Metroplex by making sure incoming refugee families are cared for.
