The Heart of Collaboration!

ABQ FaithWorks Collaborative works with many community partners, and we are excited to highlight one of our partners. For nearly a year, we have partnered with the New Mexico Immigrant Law Center (NMILC) to provide clinics for clients needing help with asylum applications, work permits, and more. We have also been able to enter another partnership to allow clients to come to our office to have their court hearings in our office instead of going to El Paso. The NMILC's mission is to advance justice and equity by empowering low-income immigrant communities through collaborative legal services, advocacy, and education.

Thank you to the New Mexico Immigrant Law Center team for all your hard work toward your mission. We are glad to partner with you and look forward to more collaboration opportunities.

Thank you to our Volunteers on National Volunteer Week!

Our Volunteer Front Desk Administrators donate their time and attention to answering phones, helping with data entry, and other tasks that may arise during the week. Each of our volunteers brings their unique personalities, skills, and willingness to help.

Thank you to Sue, Elmer, Joanne, Jennifer, Amy, and Candace for choosing Albuquerque FaithWorks Collaborative to donate your time and talents to. We are always excited and grateful to see you!

We are grateful for your dedication, Vicki Rose!

Vicki Rose has volunteered as a Family Liaison with Albuquerque FaithWorks Collaborative for over a year now. She is currently assisting three families from Cuba. Her fluency in Spanish and her firsthand experience visiting Cuba greatly aid her in this role. Vicki is one of our dedicated, caring, and cherished volunteers.

When asked about her passion for volunteering as a Family Liaison, here's what she had to say: "I find immense joy in my role because I thrive on giving to others, and in return, they offer me as much as I give them. Working with these families is heartwarming, satisfying, and profoundly fulfilling. I take pride in contributing to alleviating the struggles of immigrants as they navigate the challenges of settling in a new country. Their gratitude for even the smallest gestures is humbling, and I cherish the opportunity to learn from them. Building deep connections and cultural exchanges with them enriches my life in countless ways."

We are grateful for you, Vicki Rose, and all that you contribute to Albuquerque FaithWorks Collaborative and our families!
