Help Needed for Immigrants Released from Detention

Many thanks to all the people (including several All Souls members) who have been helping to transport, feed, and shelter a large number of immigrants who are being released from detention centers around the state awaiting the outcome of their asylum claims with family members here in the US.

Check the All Souls Caring Connection Facebook Group or text Susan Caldwell to be connected to folks who can give you the details on how you can help.
