These past eleven months have been profoundly challenging for refugees, immigrants and the organizations that serve them. War. Displacement. Deportation.
It’s easy to feel small in the face of it all. But we are still here.
We know that these actions do not reflect our values or who we are as a community.
Welcoming is a core part of who we are and who we’ve always been.
We're still here, helping families learn English. We're still here, preparing new neighbors for jobs and college. We're still here, making sure neighbors have due process and rights are recognized.CWS Lancaster continues to serve the thousands of refugees and immigrants who have made their homes in Lancaster through our integration and immigration legal services programs, despite funding cuts and program terminations.
- $50 can provide 2 weeks of culturally-relevant meals through the CWS Lancaster Food Pantry
- $250 can provide career pathways & financial coaching to ensure that families can thrive, not just survive
- $500 can provide naturalization services for families pursuing their American Dream of US citizenship
- $1500 can provide legal representation for clients seeking asylum and a pathway to safety in the US
Although these are challenging times, the beauty of Lancaster as a welcoming place, where human dignity is honored and diversity of background is cherished, will not be destroyed.
