Monthly Food Distribution

For Asylum Seekers in our community, getting resources to help them transition to the USA can be difficult. We are so thankful for the support of the Bishop Storehouse through the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, which provided us with an in-kind food grant, allowing our monthly food distribution to happen. Through this grant, we have provided dozens of families with food. Our families have been able to focus on integrating into a new home while knowing that one vital need is being taken care of. Thank you, Bishop Storehouse and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, for making our food distribution possible. You have impacted many lives, and we appreciate your generosity.

ABQ FaithWorks is currently working to raise $10,000 for World Refugee Day and 100 donors by June 20th. Would you consider helping us meet our goal by donating, creating a fundraising page and sharing the campaign with your friends?

It falls each year on 20 June and celebrates the strength and courage of people who have been forced to flee their home country to escape conflict or persecution.

ABQ FaithWorks to Honor World Refugee Day with Campaign to help Asylum Seekers

Why are we honoring World Refugee Day? 

You may already be familiar with one of our 3 flagship programs that supports people who have come to the United States seeking asylum. They are fleeing persecution and danger, but do not actually have the protection of asylee status until they work their way through the court system to prove that they would, in fact, be in danger if they returned to their home country. Sadly, this legal process can take years, during which time asylum seekers risk deportation, and face obstacles in their search for work, housing, food, and other basic essentials. But fortunately, with the help of our volunteer family liaisons and generous donors, asylum seekers in our program have emotional, practical, and financial support during this waiting period. We celebrate World Refugee Day to honor all those who have safely found asylum and refuge, and to give our clients hope that they will find safety and belonging here.
