Sunnyside Unified School District Foundation

Thank you, St. Mark's UMC, Tucson, for standing with immigrant and mixed-status families in Tucson. 🧡

We are honored to share that members of their congregation raised an incredible $5,500 for our Juntos Fund through their Easter Offering.

Because of supporters like St. Mark's and donors like you, we can continue providing critical assistance to families facing detention, deportation, or loss of legal status.

A special shoutout to Patricia Small for making this gift possible by connecting us with St. Mark’s. After 35 years with the Sunnyside Unified School District, Patricia continues to be a passionate supporter of the Sunnyside community and a wonderful ally to our work.

Together, we are helping our neighbors navigate uncertainty with dignity, hope, and support.
