About the Immigrant Resources Network
Hosted by United Way of Morris County, the Immigrant Resources Network is a collaboration of public, private, and non-profit agencies and businesses whose purpose is to increase and strengthen awareness of available resources for immigrant populations in Morris County.  Together, we strive to create opportunities to build strong networks for service providers so that they may better connect clients with services and resources necessary to become self-sufficient.
