Who Are We?

Immigrants from around the world – families forced to flee from violence and lawlessness in their home countries. After making arduous and often dangerous journeys to reach safety in our community, families face a host of challenges including an incredibly complex legal system, possible deportation and family separation, and barriers to Food, employment, housing, and education. Majority of the immigrant when they come to our country does not know what to do? Where to go? To whom they should meet? for their basic needs. HAVING GUIDANCE CAN MAKE ALL THE DIFFERENCE.

In response to the urgent need for legal and social services for immigrant and refugee families in Toledo Ohio, Logistic Assistance for Migrant People (LAMP) began operation in Sept 2021.
