Sasabe, Sonora, Mexico is a small, isolated border town, where U.S. Border Patrol often releases immigrant deportees. A resource center has recently been opened there for people who are in urgent need.

 

Here are the items they have told us they need:

• Men’s pants (gently used OK. Sizes small (29”-31”) and medium (32”-34”)
• Underwear and socks (new, please)
• Shoes (gently used OK)
• Hoodies, sweatshirts (gently used OK)
• Food (they prepare one hot meal per day): Bags of rice, beans, sugar, canned goods (especially canned tomatoes)

 

This Sunday, Oct. 17 will be the last collection day at Beacon. Longtime Social Justice Allies Roseanne Fulcher and Dorothy Rissel will take them to the border the  following week.

 

THANK YOU FOR YOUR GENEROSITY!
