Since 2007, Twin Cities World Refugee Day has included a resource fair to help refugees and other community members connect with a variety of services. The Community Resource Fair brings together over 50 local organizations serving both refugee and non-refugee clients in the areas of education, employment, health, housing, legal aid, refugee resettlement, and more.

Twin Cities World Refugee Day recognizes the contributions of the more than 100,000 refugees living in Minnesota and honors the diversity of culture and experiences they bring to our community. As an organization that values this diversity, we invite you to join us in the celebration as a vendor or resource fair participant.

It is free and open to the public.

The Vendors and Community Resource Fair is usually held from 12:00-4:00pm so you can meet with potential clients and volunteers, then have time to explore the rest of the festival. More than 40 refugee-serving organizations and over 1,000 community members are expected to participate and we wouldn’t want you to miss out!
