COLECTIVO ESPERANZA
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.
Give to Colectivo EsperanzaClasses are suspended but we are available to our families
To ensure the safety of our staff, students and volunteers, the Doors to Hope building is not open for in-person classes. Tutoring (K-12), ESL classes and Computer Literacy program is available online. Contact Gabby at gabby@doorstohope.com or via WhatsApp for help and Sophie via WhatsApp.
Most importantly, reach out to us for information about resources to contact for assistance with food, rent, utilities, etc.
Now more than ever, the need 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. We can’t do it without YOU!
To learn more about Doors to Hope, check out our most recent newsletter, Winter 2021 coming out in January.
