People Helping People

FFOAS is a growing community of compassionate volunteers who come together to assist asylum seekers on their way through our region. 

We provide assistance and a warm welcome to asylum seekers during brief bus stops in our region. FFOAS collects, prepares and distributes hot meals, supply kits and clothing to asylum seekers.  

At the start, one woman's labor of love helped a handful of people at a time. FFOAS then grew into a motivated base of dedicated volunteers assisting hundreds of people a month. While the volume has dwindled as harsh border policies keep families from the help they need, the mission stays the same.
