The ECDC African Community Center helps refugees resettle through various programs funded by government grants. They offer a matching grant program for economic self-sufficiency, Wilson-Fish program for financial assistance and social services, and individual development accounts to increase savings ability. Volunteers are needed for activities like transportation assistance, translation services, and special projects. The center hosts events like World Refugee Day with a silent auction and entertainment.
