Our Story
Our community is composed of immigrants primarily coming from the Philippines. Most of us are either petitioned by US employers or US-citizen spouses or relatives. We all experience the struggles and hardships of moving to the US.
As the economic condition worsens due to the pandemic and the rising inflation in the US, new immigrant families struggle to get started with their life. They need welcoming support from the community to help them with housing, transportation, and access to different services.
In addition to the financial crises, many families already experience brokenness and pain due to divorce and other family issues. Some families need financial support and other assistance in order to survive and maintain a humane living condition.
As a response to the multifaceted crises that the immigrants face here in the US, this Support Community was born. We commit ourselves to serving immigrant workers as well as families or individuals who are victims of homelessness, divorce, domestic violence, and poverty. We connect people in our community to generate resources that help immigrant families live a humane living condition. We also help small business owners thrive and give back to the community.
