Global Refuge has mailed out a link to its 2025 Annual report. It documents the policy changes that the organization has had to adapt to, and it's financial expenditures for its many programs. If you didn't receive it in the mail, here is a link to the report, which is a PDF download.
Locally, Church of the Cross has been supporting NorCal Resist, a mutual aid organization helping the Sacramento immigrant community. Cross has held food drives, and this year received a grant from LDSS for NorCal Resist to help pruchase diapers and hygiene products. Giselle Garcia, their executive director, sent us this receipt for all the goods they purchsed with the grant.
You can also help NorCal Resist fund DACA fees, rent assistance for ICE-impacted families, and so much more by becoming a one time or monthly sustainer to NorCal Resist.
To learn more about NorCal Resist you can visit their website at www.norcalresist.org
