Supporting Migrants
(updated March 4, 2024)
The most effective ways to help our “new neighbors” migrating from the south are:
- Donate money to agencies directly working with migrants to obtain permanent housing and jobs.
- Donate supplies for “Take Care” welcome kits, including clothing, as they arrive in shelters.
- Sort and pack “Take Care” kits in Wilmette.
- Donate household items for permanent housing.
- Sponsor a family or help translate if you’re fluent in Spanish.
