My Nonprofit Reviews

Without AIDNW, thousands of immigrants would walk out of the NW Detention Center every year into a desolate industrial area of Tacoma with only a plastic bag containing their belongings and no way to communicate with their loved ones. Instead, AIDNW volunteers are there to: greet the immigrants warmly, offer telephones, chargers and wifi so they can reach their families, provide warm coats and hats in the winter, and food and drink always. Most importantly, AIDNW volunteers work with the immigrants and their families to arrange their flights to reunite with family or friends all over the US. For those whose families need time to gather travel funds, immigrants can stay for free at AIDNW's Hospitality House in Tacoma. AIDNW provides essential services that are simply provided by no one else.
