Large Groups of Volunteers Await, Aid Ukrainian Refugees at US-Mexico Border
Standing by near the San Ysidro Port of Entry in San Diego is a group of volunteers who have been working around the clock to support Ukrainian families looking for refuge in the United States.
“We had to come up with some very immediate decisions about how we were going to house, how we were going to protect our people from weather, how we can assist them with their journey to America, and how we can make them comfortable,” said Inna Levien, one of the volunteers. The group — made up of volunteers from across the state, and brought together by a local church in Chula Vista — has been providing food, clothing and counseling to families waiting to go through the U.S. Customs and Border Protection process. The group has volunteers available 24 hours a day, they say.
According to the group, it can take anywhere from two to three days for families to make it through the process and into the U.S. They say there are already more than 1,000 people waiting to cross.
