AMIS

Welcome to AMIS, pronounced AHH-MEE, the French word for Friends! Whether you want to learn more about our work and join us in compassionately responding to human need, or are looking for assistance, we’re glad you’re here. 

We are friends to newcomers and immigrants caught in the long, complicated process of seeking legal status in the U.S. Our grassroots network of community partners and advocates work together to ease the significant financial and practical burdens individuals and families face as they await work permits and final word on their visa or asylum claims. Those burdens have overwhelmingly increased as promised aid has been eliminated and ICE has detained or deported the breadwinners of many families. 

Our mission is “to inspire hope and contribute to the well-being of immigrants and their families.” You can join in that effort through donations and volunteering, and you will make a real difference in the lives of the adults and children we serve!
