Support Families Affected by the Raids: Donate Now

This is an urgent request to support the victims of the raids.

Please consider making a donation or passing this information on to other folks you know.

To get involved or volunteer, please email info@pcasc.net

Here is the information about how to make a donation:

Catholic Charities and El Programa Hispano have agreed to open TWO bank accounts to help families affected by the ICE raid.

1) The FIRST account will be a general emergency assistance fund to help families that need food, diapers, or other types of emergency assistance. To donate to the first fund, please write RAID EMERGENCY FUND in the memo line of checks. These emergency funds are available to all families affected by the raids, even if they are not clients of Catholic Charities or live outside El Programa Hispano's normal service area (such as Washington County).

If any of you are working with families that need this type of assistance, please email or call Nathan Teske at El Programa.

2) The SECOND account will be to provide assistance to families that need to pay private attorneys for representation in deportation hearings.

If you know of someone interested in receiving funds through this program, please have their attorney contact Catholic Charities Immigration Legal Services.

To donate to the second fund, please write RAID LEGAL FUND in the memo line of checks.

Those who wish to donate should send checks to:

Catholic Charities
231 SE 12th St,
Portland, OR 97214

Please email info@pcasc.net when you donate so that we can gauge how many people are responding to this appeal.

For those who live close to our Gresham location, we will also accept cash or check donations there. Please indicate which fund you are providing the donation to.
