McAllen

First Presbyterian Church organizes mission teams to serve at the Humanitarian Respite Center in McAllen, Texas, showing love in action for immigrant and refugee families crossing the border into the United States. A hot shower, a warm meal, and a caring and friendly presence serve to provide a Christ-like welcome to God's people on the border.

In addition to providing financial support, First Presbyterian Church also periodically serves dinner to refugees and asylum-seekers living at Casa Marianella at their Convivio events, as well as Christmas gifts of toys and clothing to immigrants who have arrived with only the shirts on their back.
