Who are the migrant families?
We serve migrant families and pregnant women who:
- Have been released by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) or Border Patrol
- May travel to join family members already in the United States
- Are awaiting an immigration hearing
What we do:
Our hospitality centers give families a safe place to rest, rehydrate, eat, and care for their children. We provide a change of clothes, hygiene items, and a chance to wash up.
Volunteers greet the travelers and help them contact family members and arrange bus transportation. Families receive travel bags filled with essential items before they leave.
Guests who are unable to depart the day they are released may spend the night at a Casa Alitas shelter, staffed by volunteers and Catholic Community Services.
