- Please join us for our general meeting via ZOOM on Tuesday December 15th at 6:00 PM when our panel will discuss: Desert Support for LGBTQIA+ Asylum Seekers. With this meeting we also recognize December 18th being established by the UN as International Migrants Day.
- Our guest panelists include Anna Lijphart, Director, Oasis Legal Services for LGBTQIA+ asylum seekers, and Craig Scott and Ubaldo Boido. Craig and Ubaldo will be speaking about The House - a safe home located in the Coachella Valley, California for LGBTQIA people fleeing persecution from family, neighbors, religious communities and anti-LGBTQIA laws and organizations around the world. The House is a space for individuals to begin their new lives in the United States by providing support during the process.
- The House provides housing and meals for its residents. They also offer support from a team of volunteers for mental and physical health screenings and check ups, transportation needs, clothing and toiletries, and much more.

- If you would prefer to donate toys for the Well in the Desert Save Santa 2020 Operation, or food items for any of these charities but need assistance, please let us know and we will arrange for pickup and delivery.
