Help Refugee Children Start a Successful School Year

The beginning of the school year is just around the corner and the IRC in Dallas needs your help to give refugee children the right tools to succeed.  School supplies and backpacks are a requirement for class, but are often expensive for refugee families to purchase for their children. 
 
By collecting school supplies at the individual level, or involving your business, religious, or civic organization to do a larger drive, you will be making a powerful impact upon a newly arrived refugee child’s chances to succeed during their first year in American schools. 
 
If you are interested in receiving a school supplies list or have any questions about the school supplies drive, please contact IRC  VolunteerDallas@theIRC.org or, or 214-461-9781, extension 34.
