How You Can Donate
Our community/nation/world is facing a mounting immigration problem. Locally, AIDNW offers emotional support to the 1500 immigrants detained in Tacoma and a warm welcome and transitional support when they are released.
Our monthly operation costs are over $10,000 and we rely heavily on individual contributions.
We need YOUR help to show immigrants that we care!

What your Donations Fund
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.
Both one time and monthly donations are gratefully accepted

Our Wish List
Welcome Center Wish List
- Men’s warm and waterproof jackets, hats and gloves. These need to be clean and in good condition. Used jackets are fine but they need to be something that a young person would feel good wearing. Most of those released are slender, so medium sizes are preferred.
- Individually wrapped bags of chips, peanut butter or cheese crackers, nuts, dried fruit, or cookies
- Bottled water (individual size)
- Canned soda
- Fresh fruit such as apples, oranges (no more than one bag as they don’t keep well)
