Resource Distribution
Parenthood in refugee contexts can be particularly challenging, as families grapple with displacement, uncertainty, and limited resources. By providing refugees resources as assistance, we offer tangible support that acknowledges the efforts of caregivers and affirms their role in nurturing and protecting their children. We also provide diapers to refugee families to alleviate the financial burden for refugee families.
All volunteers are REQUIRED to complete a volunteer application to serve at the Northwest Community Center. We REQUIRE all adults to have a cleared background check. Minors are REQUIRED to submit a reference before they can serve. NO WALK-UPS permitted without a current background check on file.

How can you serve outside these opportunities?
Did you know that each year we give out over 110,000 diapers to hundreds of families! We are constantly in need of diapers, especially sizes 4,5, and 6. You can run your own diaper drive and drop off diapers at the center during business hours or buy directly from our Amazon wishlist and have them shipped right to our door! Thank you for helping us aid refugees here in Dallas.
