Help Refugee Students Start the School Year Strong!
A new school year is just around the corner, and many refugee children in our Abilene community are excited to head back to the classroom. You can help make sure they have the supplies they need to learn, grow, and succeed!
Simply scan the QR code on our flyer to shop directly from our Amazon Wish List. Every notebook, backpack, pencil, and school supply makes a difference.
Together, we can help every child start the school year feeling confident, prepared, and supported.
Thank you for investing in the future of our refugee families!

International Rescue Committee in Dallas, was proud to participate in World Refugee Day 2026 in consortium with North Texas resettlement agencies and nonprofits. This year, we had over 400 attendees and recognition from both the County and City of Dallas.

At the IRC, our staff, volunteers, donors, and partners close the gap from crisis to compassion, grounding our work in our shared humanity. Thank you!

Our experiences may differ, but our needs are deeply human and widely shared. Closing the distance begins with recognizing that what connects us is stronger than what divides us. The search for refuge, dignity and belonging is not foreign. It is familiar https://help.rescue.org/donate/us-dallas-tx

We are thankful to Judge Clay Jenkins and the Dallas County Commissioner's Court for honoring us with a joint proclamation in recognition of International World Refugee Day. This holiday is observed annually on June 20th to honor the strength, courage, and resilience of people who have been forced to flee their home countries to escape conflict, violence, or persecution.

Crisis creates distance – from home, from safety, from rebuilding a life. And too often, crisis pulls us apart. But humanity has the power to close the distance, and at the IRC in Dallas, we work every day to support newcomers in rebuilding their lives. Donate this World Refugee Day to close the distance and show up for our refugee neighbors: https://help.rescue.org/donate/us-dallas-tx

World Refugee Day is June 20, 2026. As displacement crises grow, so does the need for us to lean into our shared humanity, and close the distance between crisis and compassion, and between ourselves and each other. Don’t forget to donate today at https://help.rescue.org/donate/us-dallas-tx
