Last week, La Posada Providencia reached 7,000 clients served in the roughly 25 years of its existence.

The milestone comes as La Posada experiences an unexpected surge in the numbers of families seeking emergency shelter and assistance.

“We were not expecting to reach the 7,000 client mark this year,” said Program Director Sister Zita Telkamp, CDP. “But the number of immigrants referred to our shelter has dramatically increased in the past few months.”
