On behalf of MIMA, it is an honor to be a part of the first edition of "Welcome to Baltimore City, A Guide to Resources and Services for Immigrants and Refugees.”

The resource guide provides a comprehensive overview of city services and organizations serving immigrant and refugee communities in the City of Baltimore.

As Baltimore’s immigrant community continues to grow, it is imperative that we empower our newer residents with information on city services and community organizations ready to assist.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the number of organizations and individuals who contributed to this guide. A special gratitude to MIMA’s staff Jenia Hooper and Kaela Harlee for collecting, editing, and assembling the content’s guide.

To submit or update information regarding your organization, please contact us at mima@baltimorecity.gov.

I hope you find the information in this guide useful and easy to use.
