Our outreach recipient during December is Just Neighbors, a nonprofit immigration law firm providing the most vulnerable low-income asylum seekers, refugees, and “Dreamers” (DACA youth) with compassionate, humanitarian-based legal services in Northern Virginia and the greater DMV region. The majority of their clients are survivors of domestic violence, violent crimes, trafficking, war, or persecution. Just Neighbors helps them navigate the dense and scary legal jungle towards achieving a safe and stable life for themselves and their loved ones. Since the election, the number of requests for help has increased exponentially. To learn more visit www.justneighbors.org.

Just Neighbors Executive Director Erin McKinney will join us for the service on Dec. 8.
