Immigrant care package drive in Columbia sparked by ICE concerns

Immigrant Care Package Drive in Columbia

Como Comunidad, an organization serving local Hispanic and immigrant communities, has organized a care package drive due to concerns over ICE raids.

The goal is to donate 250 care packages to those afraid of large public gatherings amidst the federal administration's crackdown on immigration.

As far as the way we are delivering these packages, what we have seen again through experience is just families, immigrant communities are not gathering, are not wanting to gather and are afraid of being in large numbers and places,

said Jaymes Schrock, founder and director of Como Comunidad, recognizing the need to reach struggling community members quietly.

Schrock noted that this fear of gathering is seen all over the state and country.
