Refugee Alliance of Central Iowa (RACI)

RACI is a voluntary membership network of service providers, government agencies, religious groups, nonprofit organizations, and educational institutions that work together to better serve the needs of the growing refugee population in central Iowa. We provide targeted assistance in the areas of health, housing and transportation, interpretation, education, legal, along with advocacy at federal, state, and local government level.

RACI, in partnership with the Bureau of Refugee Services, Catholic Charities, DSM Refugee Support, Krause+, Lutheran Services in Iowa, Polk County, and USCRI-Des Moines will be opening a centralized donation facility to help expand local efforts of furniture/household donations for newly arriving families.
