Their goal is to provide vital services to their clients with excellence, and to advocate for changes in policies that will help the immigrant population as they continue to closely watch and respond to the shifts in America’s government policies.

How is Cabrini Outreach involved?
Cabrini Outreach continues to provide financial support for Cabrini Immigrant Service, New York, since the partnership commenced in 2015. Through our partnership, we aim to assist CIS-NYC in achieving their overall objective of improving health, mental health and wellbeing of low-income immigrant families in New York City. We hope that they may fulfil their purpose of helping these vulnerable low-income families gain access to immigration legal remedies, receive linguistically aware and culturally competent support, and experience a greater sense of integration and safety as is embedded within the spirit of Mother Cabrini.
