Steve Crofter and his partner, Laurel Green, host an asylum seeking family at their farm. Who are asylum seekers and what happens once they arrive in the United States? Join us at the Springfield Town Library on Thursday, Oct. 4 at 7 p.m., to learn about the local organization, Community Asylum Seekers Project (CASP).
Steve Crofter from CASP will explain what it means to be an asylum seeker and what their fate is once they arrive in the United States. He will also describe what CASP does to provide basic needs and support to those seeking asylum in the United States and how we can help. Crofter and his partner, Laurel Green, host an asylum seeking family at their farm.
