Sandwich Lunches for Migrants Waiting at the Airport

Beryl Flom | Published on 1/4/2024

Volunteers are needed to make bag lunches for up to 150 migrants per day who have to wait at San Diego's airport, often overnight, for their flight to leave. Instead of being sent to shelters, many are being dropped off at the airport with their ticket but without money.  There is now a system to get bag lunches for them. I have been putting a cheese, or peanut butter sandwich (nothing that might spoil without refrigeration), a small bag of chips, and a piece of fruit in a small paper bag (stapled).  When they are ready for pick up from your home, please contact Beryl Flom, berylf@lwvsandiego.org or 312-218-6444.
