Help us identify areas immigrants are in need of help!

We've been asking all around and canvassing neighborhoods to help the Mayor's office identify areas populated by immigrants/refugees that were heavily damaged by the historic flood last weekend.

Please help us! Email lindsey@tnimmigrant.org if you know of an area/neighborhood in need of assistance. We can not promise assistance, but we are doing our very best to get this information to the agencies that can help.

If you are bi-lingual and interested in helping non-English speakers affected by the flood, please fill out a volunteer form ASAP here: www.tnimmigrant.org/volunteer-form
