La Casita Center is a local grassroots organization that accompanies families in the Latin@ community and other countries. While its ongoing mission is to empower these families by providing direct services and creating networks of support, it is currently deeply involved with the legal and economic challenges many struggle with because of the federal government’s current immigration policies.
Families’ immediate needs range from ordinary supplies—from personal hygiene products to white rice and beans to gift cards—to emergency needs, such as transportation, housing and support for those who are eligible for asylum but must wait months for a court date.
