Annunciation House

Are you familiar with Annunciation House?  As a house of hospitality located in El Paso, Texas -- very close to the U.S./Mexico border -- Annunciation House provides basic services and accompaniment to the poorest of the poor, especially migrants and refugees.  Annunciation House has been accepting upwards of 750 refugees per week, and they are planning to serve a huge number of refugees who are currently in Border Patrol custody. 

This week, Annunciation House will be renting two small hotels for use as temporary hospitality centers.  The use of these hotels will allow them to increase their hospitality capacity to 1,100 per week.  They are currently recruiting volunteers for intakes, travel arrangements, transportation, clothing bank, and other needs. They are looking for donations of hygiene items, new underwear, winter coats, among other items. 

For more information, please visit their website or email them at refugees@annunciationhouse.org or call them at (915) 545-4509.
