The Immigrants Assistance Center Fundraiser [Townsquare Sunday]

The Immigrants' Assistance Center in New Bedford is making meaningful connections with immigrant families every day. The Center assists legal, permanent residents in gaining citizenship and helps new citizens in becoming active members in the Southcoast workforce. The Center also provides assistance to U.S.-born children whose parents have been detained or deported. Helena DaSilva Hughes joins host Jim Phillips this week to preview an upcoming fundraiser, and how you can help this agency continue its important work.

Townsquare Sunday with Jim Phillips can be heard each Sunday at 6 a.m. on WBSM 1420 and WBSM.com. Townsquare Sunday is a weekly public affairs program highlighting non-profits and community organizations in the Greater New Bedford area.
