EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE TO IMMIGRANT FAMILIES DUE TO COVID-19
A number of our local organizations serving the immigrant and refugee communities (including Doors to Hope) have identified families and individuals who are not eligible for government support such as stimulus checks and unemployment benefits, and who cannot find relief through other established efforts.
You can help us provide support to these families and individuals. CLICK HERE to learn more and to make a secure donation.
Classes are suspended but we are available to our families
To ensure the safety of our staff and students, Doors to Hope building is not open for in-person classes. But tutoring (K-12), ESL classes and Computer Literacy program is available online. Contact Gabby at gabby@doorstohope.com or via WhatsApp for help or Sophie via WhatsApp.
Most importantly, reach out to us for information about resources to contact for assistance with food, rent, utilities, etc.
The community’s continued financial support is needed now more than ever. During this crisis, we continue to have expenses to meet to continue to provide the tools students need to empower themselves to access resources, participate fully in the community and to break the cycle of violence and poverty.
Please give as you are able to help.
Stay home and stay safe.
