In 2001, a small group of concerned professionals
and community members came together and
created the Hmong Resource Fair. The purpose
and mission of this organization is to bring the
community and its businesses to work together,
despite any language barriers. Hmong Resource
Fair is now a centralized clearinghouse for the
Hmong community in Minnesota to have ready
and available access to the services of their community.
Hmong Resource Fair (HRF) works to provide resources and
opportunities to the Hmong community, professional community, both
public and private organizations, its business partners and stakeholders.
Through its network and connection of nearly 200 business partners and
supporters, HRF reaches thousands of Hmong in Minnesota and
throughout the nation. To achieve its mission, Hmong Resource Fair
conducts surveys from the community and gathers those necessary
resources needed to provide to the community.
The Hmong Cultural Center is our fiscal agent, a non-profit organization
devoted to assisting the community we serve and the audience we reach
out to. It is also our primary location where we utilize and share the same
resources. Hmong Resource Fair is a private, non-profit, non-partisan
organization.
