Spokane International Resource Center

A place of support, dignity, and community for everyone in need.

Overview

The Spokane International Resource Center (SIRC) is a welcoming hub where individuals and families—regardless of nationality or immigration status—can access essential support and services as they build new lives in the Spokane region. Developed from our original project, the Ukrainian Closet, the Center now serves a much broader audience while staying true to our mission of compassion, empowerment, and self-sufficiency.
