The temporary migrant shelter is currently at capacity, and we cannot accept any new residents. Thank you for your understanding and support.
Our mission is centered around providing shelter, food, and community support to those who require it. As more asylum-seekers and refugees have come to our region, we have expanded our services to better serve our new neighbors.
We offer a variety of Migrant Support Services to assist migrants in need, including legal aid for immigration issues, translation services, and access to basic necessities such as food, clothing, and shelter. Through this program, our church aims to provide a safe and welcoming environment for migrants and to help them integrate into the local community. However, without funding for this initiative, meeting the growing demand is challenging.
Due to the high number of asylum-seekers we are currently assisting, our resources are stretched beyond capacity. Therefore, we are reaching out to our government, community leaders, non-profit partners, and generous donors for assistance.
Accepting Donations of New and Gently Used Items
Doing some Spring cleaning? Please consider donating your gently used items to RPUMC. Our migrant community can greatly benefit from gently used clothing, house fans, strollers, and pots & pans. Please note that any food or hygiene items should arrive unopened and in their original packaging. Please see the flyer below for more information. We thank you for your support.
The Migrant Arrivals Support Coalition has been formed to assist asylum-seekers and migrants with basic needs services including housing, food, essential items, interpretation, health care, and more. If your agency wishes to join the cause, please complete the Migrant Arrivals Support Form by clicking the button below.
No one can do this work alone. It's time we build an organized support network for migrants in Washington State.
Thank you to the Washington Immigrant Solidarity Network, OneAmerica, Congolese Integration Network, and Low Income Housing Alliance for coordinating these efforts.
