What We Do
The AIDNW Welcome Center is in an RV stationed outside the release gate, and the immigrants know this is a place where they can get help.
We can arrange for their transportation to the bus station, airport or taxi, and when needed, we provide temporary housing until more permanent arrangements are made.
WELCOME CENTER
Our Welcome Center provides a safe, supportive environment until reunification with loved ones can happen
HOSPITALITY HOUSE
Our Hospitality House offers overnight shelter for immigrants traveling to distant cities
VISITATION
When immigrants do not have anyone able to visit them, we end that isolation
Post-Detention Accompaniment Network (PDAN)
When immigrants need to connect to community services
PHONE ACCESS
When immigrants are unable to hear the voices of family and friends
Help Us Replace the Welcome Center RV
A fund-raising campaign is underway to provide a new or slightly used (under 10 years) 32 – 36 foot “Class A” RV, to replace the current Welcome Center RV, which is 20 years old and on its last legs/axles.
