EVA: Eloy Visitation & Accompaniment
We have a new name!
EVA: Eloy Visitation & Accompaniment (Formerly known as Casa Mariposa Detention Visitation Program) provides support, friendship and encouragement to immigrants in detention in hopes of breaking the cycle of isolation.
Through weekly communication via letters phone calls, and visits our volunteers strive to alleviate the isolation felt by immigrants in Eloy Detention Center (Eloy, AZ). Letters and visits help show individuals they are not forgotten, and most importantly, that someone cares for them. Outside of detention, we support immigrants alongside the Florence Project and other community partners. Funds given to this program will bring hope and connection to immigrants living in detention, boost individuals morale as they return to life on the outside, and help reunite folks with their loved ones.
EVA's efforts are supported by generous donors like you, local and across the country, and grant funding from Presbyterian Disaster Assistance (PDA), Mennonite Church USA, West Coast Mennonite Central Committee, and The Alva and Doris Schlabach Foundation. We are deeply thankful for this ongoing support.
EVA is also a proud member of the Freedom for Immigrants network.
