About Us

The Chesapeake Multicultural Resource Center (ChesMRC) empowers people from different cultures to become successful and engaged members of our community. While the organization serves anyone who requests assistance, our primary focus is to help Limited English Proficient (LEP) individuals to successfully integrate into the community.

One of ChesMRC’s key objectives is to connect this vulnerable population to the existing network of public and private service providers. In addition, we support the outreach efforts of these service providers and respond to their requests to intervene in specific cases. ChesMRC became a Department of Justice (DOJ) recognized organization in 2016 and can directly assist, without the need for a lawyer, all immigration cases. ChesMRC also became a Certified Application Counselor (CAC) Organization and can directly enroll or renew families into Medicaid and health insurance plans.

Since it’s inception in 2012, ChesMRC has provided services to more than 9,500 clients in Talbot and surrounding counties, involving over 43,000 unique services provided. No other organization is addressing this need.
