Orientation
At Mission Border Hope Resource Center we offer a BIG WELCOME to all the arrivals. When they arrive we give them all an orientation, so they know where are they located, what are the next things to do, and of course, we tell them that they have arrived to the United States.
We offer phone calls, wifi, and translators so they can call their families after being detain for hours, days or even months.
We provide options for them to travel safely to their final destination.
