Resources for Faith Communities on Immigration
We know that there is a lot of fear and concern around immigration and ICE, and we are being asked to share resources with communities in our county. We also know that faith communities are trusted partners and wanted to share resources that we’ve compiled with you to share with your congregants.
We do need to acknowledge that we cannot give legal advice, and that the majority of these resources come from non-county resources that community members have said were helpful. We encourage you to consult with local non-profits, law enforcement, and lawyers to find the best resources for your community.
For more information you can visit the Gilchrist Immigrant Resource Center which outlines more resources.
