Meet Chaundra Finley-Merrell, LMSW, the Mental Health Coordinator for the IRC in Dallas.

Find out how the IRC and our partners collaborate to deliver humanitarian assistance where it's needed most.

Tecle’s experience as a refugee coming to the United States from Ethiopia inspired him to run for local office and bring a fresh perspective as an immigrant and new American.

Update: February 24, 2021. The IRC responded to extreme winter weather conditions affecting Texas, causing blackouts and water shortages. Both IRC locations in Dallas and Abilene are still closed however staff are actively responding to client needs remotely.

On December 3, the International Rescue Committee in Silver Spring brought together over 50 clients, volunteers, and staff for a Thanksgiving meal and afternoon of festivities. Sampling traditional American fare such as roasted turkey and cranberry sauce alongside delicacies like homemade dolmas and Syrian pastries, refugee families and IRC volunteers and staff had an opportunity to share their cultural traditions with each other and express the things that they are thankful for in their lives.

In a warm and generously provided space, IRC staff and clients celebrated the end of 2018 in style.

In response to the Coronavirus outbreak, the IRC is moving ahead with some changes to our programs and operations in order to help prevent the spread of the illness in our community and to protect the health of our clients, onsite partners, volunteers, and staff.

Starting Wednesday, 3/18, the IRC in Dallas will close our office and all of our staff will begin working remotely. Here's what you can do to help.
