- New Bedford Raid:
Bilingual volunteers needed in New Bedford
Ewa Goodman writes March 7, 2007: Today, a humanitarian crisis emerged from the aftermath of the March 6, 2007 raids by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement at the Michael Bianco Inc. factory in New Bedford. Throughout New Bedford, children were left at day care centers, babies with babysitters and elders without caregivers. Throughout the day and evening, hundreds descended upon Our Lady of Guadalupe at St. James Church looking for loved ones.Donate Time. Trauma specialists/mental health professionals and bi- lingual volunteers are especially needed to assist with needs of family members left behind. Call Cynthia Tschampl at MIRA to let us know what times you will be in New Bedford: 617-350-5480 x212 or ctschampl@miracoalition.org. All volunteers should report to Our Lady of Guadalupe at St. James Church, 233 County St., New Bedford. Please bring bottled water, paper products and canned goods.
