October 2020 Asset Builder: Pacific County Immigrant Support

We are pleased to award this month's Asset Builder to Pacific County Immigrant Support.  Pacific County Immigrant Support (PCIS) learns about and supports the needs of undocumented immigrant families threatened by arrest, detention, and deportation by ICE (U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement).

A few of their many wonderful supports and activities include:

• Advocate directly for families
• Raise funds to help families with rent, utilities, and other needs
• Attend hearings at the Northwest Detention Center in Tacoma to support families
• Accompaniment to US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) office appointments and court hearings
• Connect families to community resources
• Empower families to “Know Your Rights” information and support training events
• Rapid Response Network
• Deportation Defense
• Distribute family information packets

We are so incredibly fortunate to have this wonderful resource available to us on the Peninsula.  Congratulations!
