Immigrant Care Package Drive in Columbia
Como Comunidad, an organization serving local Hispanic and immigrant communities, has organized a care package drive due to concerns over ICE raids.
The goal is to donate 250 care packages to those afraid of large public gatherings amidst the federal administration's immigration crackdown.
“As far as the way we are delivering these packages, what we have seen again through experience is just families, immigrant communities are not gathering, are not wanting to gather and are afraid of being in large numbers and places,”
said Jaymes Schrock, founder and director of Como Comunidad, highlighting the need to reach struggling community members quietly.
Schrock's organization aims to support immigrant communities across the state and country who are impacted by ICE concerns.
