RST does a great job of focusing on teaching their clients to be self sufficient instead of enabling co-dependency. The internationals who have come out of their office have gone on to start small businesses and play an irreplaceable role in the creation of communities that are desirable to live in.

I've been involved with RST for over a decade and have always been impressed with the dedication of the staff to the clients. Whether helping a recently arrived refugee family or finding services for victims of human trafficking they always go above and beyond. No matter what the challenges, this organization never stops working to meet them for the good of our community!

The global population of displaced is higher than ever, and Refugee Services of Texas is performing critical work here in our communities, offering safe harbor to refugees, victims of trafficking, immigrant services, and asylees. The staff does a tremendous job of welcoming newcomers and providing the tools, mentorship and options for succeeding in their new life in America. If you're looking for a great, organization to support monetarily or with your time or expertise, I think you'll find RST to be the best of stewards with your trust and dollars. I freely give them both of mine.
