Subject: Temporary Welcome centers in Colorado for those seeking refuge

Dear all,

I want to clear up some confusion on my end and thank Nicole from CIRC for looping us together. To my knowledge there are currently no buses planned to stop in Boulder from the border yet. Please advise if any of you have direct knowledge of that happening so I can connect you with support folks here.

I have just finished up our debrief report from the bus we supported last week. It details what is needed and how pretty easy it was to support the individuals and families who need just 24-60 hours to contact sponsors and make travel arrangements.

While the report focusses heavily on faith communities, a site like the fire station in Boulder would also work very well.

Please let me know how I could support the Boulder community in being prepared to also host? There are already three congregations there who supported our Denver test case and who I think would be happy to be able to support in their own community.
