Why Your Gift Matters

"I had felt so alone when I moved here. I didn’t speak English, I felt discriminated against, and I lived in fear. But I don’t anymore. Columbia County Sanctuary Movement has made me feel like I belong. I feel loved and held, and I know I can do anything."

CCSM works with thousands of immigrants each year through legal support, food security, community organizing, direct service, and more. We’re more than just an organization — we’re a movement.
