Manos Amigas Utah
Our Story
Who We Are
Manos Amigas Utah is a new community organization working to support detained and deported immigrants and their families in southern Utah. Our mission is to provide emergency aid and compassionate support to individuals and families as they navigate detention and deportation.
Manos Amigas Utah is a 100% volunteer-run organization. Our team works hard to respond to every request as quickly as possible, and we appreciate your patience as we serve our community. Our programs are funded entirely by community donations, with the average donation amount being $150. We are not able to provide rent assistance for families, but we are able to provide groceries, baby supplies, and phone & commissary money for loved ones at detention centers.

Our vision is that all immigrants in southern Utah are supported by their neighbors.
We are building a supportive community for immigrant families as they navigate detention and deportation. With our emergency aid, phone fund for detained immigrants, and resilience resources, we aim to make a tangible difference in our neighbors' lives.
