One Night That
Changes a Thousand Lives

For nearly a decade, DFW Refugee Outreach Services has walked alongside refugee and immigrant families in Dallas-Fort Worth — providing food, education, healthcare navigation, and a genuine sense of belonging. This year, we're bringing our community together for an unforgettable evening of reflection, celebration, and generosity.

Our 10-Year Anniversary Gala is more than a fundraiser. It's a gathering of people who believe that dignity is not a privilege — it's a right. Every seat at our table directly funds the meals, English classes, job coaching, and emergency support that keep families standing on their own two feet.
