ACTION OF THE MONTH:
Our Immigration Services program has been inundated with phone calls after a series of stricter immigration laws were laid out by the new administration.
Thanks to the generosity of an anonymous donor, QCH has received a $7,500 matching grant to support the increased demand on our paralegal services. Please consider donating to help us meet our match and expand our services. You donation will go twice as far during this crucial time! Thank you.
