Advocates for Immigrants in Detention (AIDNW)

Through hands-on immigrant assistance programs, AIDNW’s small staff and over 200 volunteers address the needs of detained persons held inside the Northwest ICE Processing Center, and upon release. Working from a large RV called the Welcome Center, volunteers greet immigrants as they are released from the Center in the Tacoma Tide Flats. They assist with travel plans, supply hats,  gloves, and food, and if necessary, provide temporary housing. Some volunteers support detainees inside the Center with visits and letters. Members of FIUCC volunteer in several ways at AIDNW. More information is available at aidnw.org.
