Before you go...can you help?Hundreds of migrants who had been waiting between the two border fences to enter the United States have been processed by federal authorities and, subsequently, many of them have been dropped off by Border Patrol agents at transit centers throughout San Diego county. The massive arrivals overwhelmed nonprofit organizations scrambling to provide migrants with basic resources such as food and clothing, as well as shelter in hotel rooms and with host families.Here are ways to help these refugees in their journey: • Interfaith Services (North County) • Donate, Contribute Goods or Volunteer: https://www.interfaithservices.org/contribute • Rapid Response Network (Central/South County): • Volunteer with Rapid Response Network: https://www.jfssd.org/volunteer/support-refugee-immigrant-families/ • Donate to the Rapid Response Network: https://secure.jfssd.org/site/Donation2?df_id=3942
Thank you all for your hard work and dedication.Stay involved!Cathie Hyatt (she/her) President[email protected]
