Floyd Friends of Asylum Seekers

Since October 2019, Floyd has been host to over 90 resident asylum seekers. The Floyd Friends of Asylum Seekers (FFOAS) community supports the asylum seekers through donations that cover medical visits, legal care, rent and transportation costs, as needed.

 FFOAS assists asylum seekers in managing their individual and collective trauma experiences by helping with school enrollment, access to community resources, equine and ecotherapy, etc.  Our community also volunteers transportation services and donations in kind in response to specific needs of the asylum seekers. 

There is a huge need for this work in our area of the country, and any supplies or time that can be contributed makes a difference. You can participate by donating money and items to support our resident asylum seekers.
