Assembling ‘Care Kits’ for the travelers
Who We Are and What We Do
Established in the fall of 2018, the NOLA Grannies are a group of grassroots volunteers who meet and assist legal asylum-seeking immigrants released from detention as they pass through the bus station in New Orleans, Louisiana on their way to their sponsors, where they will pursue their immigration cases. We provide snacks, drinks, hygiene products, toys, baby needs, clothing, blankets, help with understanding confusing bus tickets, and, perhaps most importantly, human contact, warm smiles, and caring hugs.
We are located in New Orleans, Louisiana (NOLA) and associated with Grannies Respond, a national organization that provides and elicits compassion and respectful support for asylum seekers and immigrants who are seeking safety and security in the United States.
