Hello AIDNW Family! I hope that you are enjoying your summer! We have been busy bees at the Welcome Center and the Hospitality House.

Thank you to all of the July Donors, including the Milgard Family Foundation ($15,000) and the Peg and Rick Young Foundation ($2,500).  Thank you to everyone who donates from your retirement funds at Fidelity. They often come in as anonymous gifts, so I can’t personally thank you, but we see and appreciate you! Early thanks as well to everyone who has contributed to the Summer Campaign so far. We have seen online and mailed donations. Woot! Please spread the word– here is the link: Summer Campaign – Donate Now! . We need your help now more than ever.

Thank you to all of the July Volunteers! I remain humbled and in awe of each one of you.

Board Chair Caitlin Boline and I have scheduled a Listening Session on Zoom for Wednesday, August 14th at 6:00 pm.  Here is the Zoom link if you’d like to join: https://usc.zoom.us/j/5700434718?pwd=RGJ2cmMxbzFhbUU2ZlJjQThuUWRGUT09

Make the most of August, spend time with your loved ones and don’t forget self care  It’s all about balance. We appreciate you!

The City of Tacoma will provide $10,000 to AIDNW for phone funds for detainees!

“When you realize just what they have been through to get here: weeks to months in detention, the journey just to get to our southern border, some of the horrible conditions in their home country. They are survivors and I’m in awe.”
