Associates Volunteer at the Welcome Center in Arizona – and Bring Much-Needed New Shoes

Libby Hagman, an Associate of the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur (AND), and her husband, Roger, had a tremendous experience volunteering at the Welcome Center in Phoenix, Arizona, last year. They will return in March to work alongside Sister Liane Delsuc and other Sisters and volunteers from across the country who volunteer time at the Welcome Center to assist migrants (asylum seekers) upon their arrival and help them feel welcome and comfortable.

As these young families, parents with children, young adults and older persons arrive at the Welcome Center, they have the opportunity to choose a set of clean clothing, including shoes. During their last visit, Roger and Libby noticed that there was a shortage of new sneakers for school age children. They are planning to bring a car full of sneakers when they return in March.
