During the COVID-19 pandemic we continue to be guided by our mission statement above. How we accomplish this has changed. We hold Zoom meetings bi-weekly using phones, computers or tablets. Please join us for the next meeting. We have suspended Communications Group meetings. Operation Streamline is closed in Tucson. Comedor and shelter visits have been discontinued until further notice. Desert searches and water drops continue but with less frequency and new safety precautions. To relieve the increased level of migrant suffering due to the pandemic and recent immigration enforcement practices, consider donating to one of these Resources for Immigrants and Migrants or to the GVS Samaritans. Here are ways to Engage with GVS Samaritans now. Thank you.
