Share your immigrant story
Welcome TLC’s mission is to build a more welcoming and inclusive community for immigrants, refugees, and people of diverse cultures, fostering a vibrant civic, economic, and social fabric for all.

To celebrate the cultural diversity of our community, we aim to share the stories of individuals who have come to the United States and made our city and county their home.

Visit the Immigrant Heritage Month Storytelling Series archive to read first-hand accounts from our immigrant, refugee, and diverse community members who call Toledo and Lucas County home.
