HOW TO GET INVOLVED IN THE HUMANITARIAN CRISIS AT THE BORDER 📣
  • Pray for safety, health, comfort, hope & faith for those fleeing danger, and for the provision of immediate basic necessities.
  • Shop for needed supplies through this Amazon wish list http://tinyurl.com/EPBElist or collect and send needed supplies including travel bags, toiletry kits & items for children (see list below).
  • Make a tax deductible financial contribution toward the effort by clicking on the link below. Not including shelter, it costs about $24 to provide the basic needs for one family upon arrival, and $40 for a 2-day stay including food & supplies for the onward journey.
  • Become a fundraiser for the effort by clicking on the link below. The process is simple and easily shareable via email or social media.
  • Donate or provide funding for a 15-passenger van or a pickup truck.
  • Consider bringing a group to El Paso for a Border Encounter to experience in person the realities of the US-Mexico border and serve at a temporary migrant shelter. Contact us at borderencounters@gmail.com.
