Hispanic evangelical group offers churches’ help in housing migrant children

The head of the largest Hispanic evangelical Christian network in the United States has offered to work with the Trump administration to provide resources and shelter to migrant children crossing the US-Mexico border.

Samuel Rodriguez, president of the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference, said during a conference call July 1 that his organization is launching a campaign to offer aid to immigrant children held in detention centers at the border.

It will involve sending “shipments and cargo and truckloads of resources to the border,” including shoes, clothing, and hygiene products, Rodriguez said, “working with our current administration in addressing some of the needs of these children coming over.”
