The Marshall County Community Response Coalition came together in 2016 to create a network of local organizations with the common goal of connecting immigrants and refugees in Marshall County with accurate information and a strong network of support. The Coalition has worked on strategies to disseminate accurate information, acknowledging that the diverse immigrant communities we serve have unique barriers regarding access to information and resources. Having a local Community Response Coalition in place has also allowed us to mobilize more quickly during emergencies, like the 2017 Marshalltown tornado, and the COVID-19 pandemic.
