Resources to help are low, but another Phoenix church opened up its doors to help.

Another busload of migrants arrives at a Phoenix church, something that’s been happening frequently across the Valley since early October, but churches are stepping up to help, though they have little to no resources.

Pastor Agustin Hubert of Longview Community Church near 12th Street and Osborn Road took in 75 migrants Wednesday morning. It’s the first time he says he’s been called to help.

“They’re here for two, three, four days. We give them a meal. We give them a shower, new clothes,” said Hubert.

Mesa Pastor Magdalena Schwartz, estimates close 5,000 migrants have been dropped off at local churches since October 12th. She’s been working closely with ICE to find temporary shelter for them. Most migrants stay either at churches or with host families before they are connected to family in the U.S. as they wait for their asylum cases to be heard.

“We don’t know when it’s going to stop. From what we hear, it’s not. So we’re preparing for at least the next six months to do this,” said Hubert.

They are still in need of donations, including money, clothing, children’s shoes and food. To donate, you can drop off items at
