aid for unhoused folks

Whether folks are seeking asylum or are experiencing homelessness in another way, we believe it's important to acknowledge that struggle and be neighborly.

​

Our food equity efforts allow us to provide necessary aid to folks who are housing insecure - a bag of groceries, a kit of warm or cold weather essentials, connection to social services, a few snacks at a Community Box. 

​

With the arrival of many families seeking asylum from Venezuela, we are working harder than ever to provide support to all. 

​

Our monthly Circulo program provides a hot meal and free group therapy to asylum seekers. The meals are shared with the Love Fridges as well, to provide a stronger sense of solidarity among our neighbors. There's enough to go around!​

The circulo de sanacion pilot program

In the fall of 2023, we piloted a 10-week mental health program geared toward helping newly arrived families process trauma associated with their journey. Download the info sheet to learn about this unique initiative.
