As a humanitarian organization with a mission is to save lives, we could not stand by as families and individuals were being dropped off in our nations capital with nowhere to go and no one to guide them.
We provide migrants arriving in the D.C. area with a warm welcome and a temporary place to stay. We provide immediate food and hygiene kits, assist with travel arrangements, and provide a safe place to stay for 3 days and 2 nights.
