July COMPASSION OFFERING:
Casa Alitas
Casa Alitas is a non-profit, immigrant welcome center near the border in Tucson, Arizona. The compassion offering for Casa Alitas from our congregation will help people at the border find a safer, more secure life.
Casa Alitas provides a warm welcome, food, clothing, and shelter for a few days for legal asylum seekers who have crossed the border. It also makes travel arrangements for people to reach the homes of their sponsors in the United States. Casa Alitas provides services to 500 to 1,000 guests every day.
ORUCC has a hands-on history with Casa Alitas, particularly through our annual clothing drive, such as the drive ongoing now. In addition, a number of us have had the opportunity to volunteer at Casa Alitas.
Funds from the compassion offering will provide direct services to immigrant families. Funds will
- buy items for play bags for children,
- pay for transportation to reunite families who have been separated at the border,
- buy plane tickets for people to reach the homes of their sponsors in the United States, and
- pay for the food, medical services, and shelter provided by Casa Alitas.
Thank you in advance for your contribution.
You can make a donation by check. On the memo line, please write “compassion” and mail to ORUCC, 1501 Gilbert Road, Madison, WI 53711, or donate online from our website.
