The Florence Immigrant and Refugee Rights Project is the only organization in Arizona that provides free legal and social services to detained men, women, and children under threat of deportation.
The Florence Project is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit legal service organization providing free legal and social services to adults and unaccompanied children in immigration custody in Arizona.
Although the government assists indigent criminal defendants and civil litigants through public defenders and legal aid attorneys, it does not provide attorneys for people in immigration removal
proceedings. As a result, an estimated 86 percent of the detained people go unrepresented due to poverty. The Florence Project strives to address this inequity both locally and nationally through direct service, partnerships with the community, and advocacy and outreach efforts.

Through our fundraising efforts, we ensure that the shelter doors stay open through the six coldest months of the year (November – April). Our volunteer meal teams provide warm and nutritious meals to shelter guests each evening, and our overnight volunteers provide back-up coverage to the staff. Members of the community also help by contributing monetarily and volunteering in other ways (i.e., knitting hats and gloves, donating toiletries or socks, offering vocational workshops, etc.).
