Immigrants Trust BIC, but Your Generosity Makes Our Work Possible!
With your support, Berkshire Immigrant Center can provide life-changing assistance to immigrants.
BIC offers affordable immigration legal services, free citizenship test preparation classes, and critical resources. Since 1997, we’ve built a foundation of trust — trust from those we serve and from supporters like you.
There are countless stories of how your gift changes lives. Our clients put it best.
BIC helped Diandra Mongeon become a citizen in 2023, five years after she moved here from Peru. “Having somebody there that understood your immigration process and helped you through it meant the world to me. I don’t have to worry — I have the BIC with me.”
“I really felt that we could trust them.” - Marie Helene Yameogo
“If you are new here, you can drown — you need an organization like this.”
- Robert Henriquez
Immigrants trust BIC, but we cannot do this without you. Your gift — and every gift — builds trust.
Our caseworkers, accredited by the US Department of Justice, help hundreds of people each year with everything from getting a Green Card or tourist visa to filing for US citizenship. Each step is part of an emotional climb. It begins with the courage of a client reaching out. Caseworkers listen carefully to their stories, relying on legal expertise to help every client navigate their specific challenges. We advocate tirelessly, with compassion. We help clients find a legal resolution — and a renewed sense of belonging.
This journey is more than paperwork. BIC helps people pursue their dreams with dignity and confidence.
In the new year, your support will fuel new ways for BIC to serve immigrants. For the first time, we have three staff caseworkers. Our Education Program is growing. With a new Strategic Plan on tap, we are charting a bold vision for BIC’s future. With your support, we remain committed to being here for every immigrant who needs us. There is no alternative — BIC must exist to meet the needs of Berkshire immigrants navigating a complex and broken immigration system.
