The pandemic has hit the working poor harder than those of us who can work or study from home or who are retired. Thanks to FaithWorks' case management and the collaborations with partner organizations, such as Family Promise or Heading Home, unhoused people are able to take steps to stable, housed, self-sufficient living. ABQ FaithWorks has helped to remove obstacles so that unsheltered people get an ID, food, transportation, or treatment, as well as clothing to interview for employment, help with rent, or access to a dentist. People in City-subsidized hotels will have stable shelter until June 2021, opening a door for them to take more steps on their paths to independent living. Here's how you can help!

January 2021. This past Christmas, over 20 migrant families in our community enjoyed gifts, toys, and food baskets. Our neighbors without reliable shelter were helped with essentials that we take for granted such as laundry, diapers for their children, socks, hats, jackets, feminine hygiene, and most importantly, help on the next step forward toward recovery, shelter, and self sufficiency. All this thanks to the generosity of our community that made donations and gave over $2,000 in December to support FaithWorks. God bless you everyone!
Dec 20, 2020: Jessica Corley and seven masked elves wrapped presents and put together baskets of food and treats for immigrant families, including many children. Thanks to Giving Tree donations, there will be joy this unique Christmas in asylum-seeking families in Albuquerque. This is in addition to our work with medical, legal, food and eviction prevention in both the housing-challenged and migrant populations.
