400 immigrant children and parents are planned to be reunited in San Antonio this coming week (beginning Sunday, July 15) through Catholic Charities and supportive partners.
The Office of Refugee Resettlement has a total goal of reuniting 1500-2000 children with parents this week and with our City serving its part.
Here are the specific needs:
- Gift cards for restaurants or HEB to buy food for the families. Please place in envelopes clearly marked with $-quantity of card(s) and tagged with “Compassion400.”
- Clothes for children ages 6-17. All clothes must be clean or new, bagged and clearly marked by each size and gender, and tagged with “Compassion400.” No loose clothing can be accepted at this time of urgency.
- Clothes for adults in sizes small and medium. All clothes must be clean or new, bagged and clearly marked by each size and gender, and tagged with “Compassion400.” No loose clothing can be accepted at this time of urgency.
- Financial support to temporarily house reunified families in hotels. Donations can be made directly online at
ccaosa.org.
Gift cards and clothing need to be delivered directly to Catholic Charities at 202 W. French Place, San Antonio.
You can start bringing donations TODAY – July 14 and 8am-8pm every day through July 24th
