Emergency Items Collection for Postville Families

Postville Raid Victims are in Need of Your Help

After the raid on May 12, 2008 there were about 389 immigrants detained, including woman in their children.

Women were forced to wear ankle bracelet and to remain under home arrest until an immigration judge decides their individual case.

At this time they still remain in this country, unable to work, and they are struggling to provide for their children and themselves.

Because of this reason, ICADV is having an emergency items collection to help these families in need.

Items needed:

Household and personal hygiene items such as:
Detergent
Bleach
Dish soap
Shampoo
Tooth paste
Diapers size 4 and 5

New Clothing and toys
Winter clothing for children aged 12 months to 18 years old
