Family Support Center
The Family Support Center is fully open for business as of July 5.
The Family Support Center at Tierra Nueva comes alongside the marginalized people who have little or no voice in the larger community, including recent immigrants, farm workers, families of jail inmates, and ex-offenders. Tierra Nueva staff accompany people to court; visit them in jail or immigration detention; provide pastoral counseling and prayer; and negotiate on their behalf with employers, landlords, and insurance companies. A typical day at the Family Support Center in Burlington might involve supplying emergency clothing and blankets, assisting people with legal problems, or helping with job and housing applications.
Our need:
Blankets and sleeping bags
Warm coats, sweaters, accessories (hats, gloves, scarves, socks, boots), and linens
Hygiene and household products: toothbrushes, toothpaste, soap, razors, tampons and pads, diapers, etc.
Contact admin@tierra-nueva.org with questions or to arrange a drop-off.
“Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.”
