In an effort to bring hope and light to thousands of migrants in the United States, Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service has launched its sixth-annual Hope for the Holidays campaign. The program collects cards and gifts for distribution at migrant detention centers across the country and at shelters along the border, reminding individuals and families that they are not forgotten during the holiday season.
To ensure delivery to children and families in time for the holidays, cards and donations must be sent in by Dec. 3rd, 2021. Donations towards children’s gifts can be received up to Dec. 21st, 2021.

Last year, volunteers distributed over 16,000 cards to migrant families in detention centers across the country, as well as to individuals and families who were recently released from detention. Notably, the campaign provided more than 500 children’s gifts – enough for every single migrant child in family detention centers in the country to open a special present over the holiday season.
