Organizers of the informal, interfaith network supporting refugee families in Massachusetts are asking for help funding hotel rooms on an emergency basis. They are seeking individuals who are willing to receive a last-minute call/text, and then pay for a hotel room for 1-2 nights. Hotels tend to be in the $150-$220 range per night. You would receive the request and then book the hotel room online or by phone if you are able. The specific hotel or geographic area for a hotel will be provided by the volunteer who is accompanying the specific family. There is a short list of hotels that have been cooperative and are familiar with this process, and the families will be accompanied by a volunteer for check-in. You can sign up to pay for a hotel room when it’s needed HERE. Please contact Elaine Mittell with any questions.
