An influx of thousands of migrants new to the country have arrived in NYC in recent months, often with few personal belongings. From donating winter coats to keeping your eyes peeled at airports, here are some of the ways advocates say you can help.

Even though border state elected officials have been chartering fewer migrant buses to the city, hundreds of newcomers continue to arrive each month, as the city reels from sub-freezing temperatures and braces for more dark and cold days ahead.
“Be vigilant and keep your eyes open,” says Power Malu, executive director of Artists, Athletes, Activists, a local community group that helps transport newly arrived migrants to housing. He says his group helps transport some 200 to 300 migrants per day, including some found wandering city streets. If you encounter new migrants in need of assistance you’re unable to provide, you can also contact Malu at 347-229-8399. His organization is also in touch with employees at airports who may be able to assist.
