Helping Hands Campaign
While much of the last two years have been fraught with uncertainty and have challenged us to find new ways to meet community needs, we have emerged a stronger organization who has deepened our services for immigrant communities.
We have supported more than 2,800 immigrants access justice, heal from trauma, and overcome language isolation in 2021.
We remain committed to continuing to meet the present challenges and the next to come, but we need your support to sustain funding and continue providing these vital services to our clients in need.
