May 6, 2023Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
I am calling on you to support our Catholic Community Services at a time of exceptional need.
Every day, immigration authorities are releasing several hundred men, women, and children to Casa Alitas. These are immigrants who have been legally released into the United States by the Department of Homeland Security. For years, Casa Alitas has provided much needed support in the form of food, shelter, clothing, medical attention, and aid in continuing their journeys to those waiting for them throughout the U.S. Weekly, Casa Alitas meets the need. However, with the end of Title 42 on Thursday, May 11th, their need to respond with critical humanitarian aid is expected to grow tremendously.
The small staff and dedicated volunteers need your help. Casa Alitas is always looking for new volunteers and staff to join in its mission to put the Gospel of Jesus Christ into action. To volunteer, please contact Casa Alitas at [email protected]. To join Casa Alitas as a staff member, please visit www.ccs-soaz.org/careers and look for open positions such as Site Leads and Site Coordinators.
Donations for this critical need can be sent to Catholic Community Services, 140 W. Speedway Blvd., Suite 230, Tucson, AZ 85705.
Let us never forget that as Catholics we are called to serve the vulnerable, especially children and the defenseless, in humanitarian crises. The Gospel of Jesus Christ compels us.
I am grateful for the goodness I see daily in our people. May God bless you abundantly!"For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, a stranger and you welcomed me, naked and you clothed me, ill and you cared for me, in prison and you visited me." - Matthew 25:35-36
