Refugee Services of Texas will close its offices in the Lone Star State after 45 years.
Refugee Services of Texas helped refugees in the state resettle and served victims of human trafficking.
"It is with heavy hearts that we have come to this decision," said David McKeever, CEO of Refugee Services of Texas. "This agency has faithfully carried out its mission to serve vulnerable populations since its founding in 1978 and has touched thousands of lives along the way. This decision was not made lightly.
"We wish to thank all of our employees and the thousands of supporters and volunteers who have helped Refugee Services of Texas touch so many lives over the years," said McKeever. "We urge them to continue this important work and find ways to volunteer at other resettlement agencies who will certainly need their help."
