What?

Join us at the Casa Alitas Hospitality Center (the central hub for all Southern Arizona refugees) as we serve the refugee families that are dropped off by the Border Patrol every day after they are cleared for admission to the U.S. We have all seen the caravans of refugees walking from Central America to the U.S. border, in the hope of a better life. When people finally make it to the U.S., they need much support. They do not speak the language; they need medical care, clothes, a place to stay, a way to connect with friends or relatives. 

At Casa Alitas, the HVC participants will welcome families, provide medical check-ups, help them find clothes in the well-stocked supply of donated items, assist them with contacting friends or relatives, and provide play therapy for the children. They will also help with renovations at the center. A knowledge of Spanish is useful but not mandatory.
