About Us
Walking the Walk and Talking the Talk of the Message of the Statue of Liberty
“Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”
What We Do
Since October 2019, Floyd has been host to 63 resident asylum seekers. The Floyd Friends of Asylum Seekers community supports the asylum-seekers through donations that cover medical visits, legal advice, rent, and transportation costs. Our community also volunteers transportation services and donations in kind in response to specific needs of the asylum seekers. Please find more information on our resident asylum seekers on this page. Previously, our volunteers met buses at stops along their routes as they travelled North. During quick changeovers they distributed nutritious hot meals, extra clothing, and supplies for the rest of the journey to as many folks as possible.
