The Friend Raiser is our fundraising drive to cover the costs of the five service trips scheduled for 2020. Join us to hear first-hand accounts of our volunteers’ experiences at the nation’s largest immigration detention center, the South Texas Family Residential Center in Dilley, Texas, and learn about the impact of our work.
