Meeting of Concerned Citizens
Rio Grande Borderland Ministries
St. James Episcopal Church
510 N 6th St, Alpine, TX
Tuesday, May 9, 2023, 9 am
The Rio Grande Borderland Ministries works with the U.S. Border Patrol to assist immigrants cleared to enter our country. Title 42 is a border policy that blocks migrants, including asylum seekers, from entering the U.S. due to COVID-19, but the Center for Disease Control will end Title 42 shortly, due to improved public health conditions and the availability of vaccines and treatments.
Volunteers with Rio Grande Borderland Ministries help immigrants with transportation, travel availability, clothing, and overnight accommodations, so that they can find their way to their new home or temporary location. Additional volunteers to help with the many new immigrants legally entering the country are welcome.
