Haitian Community Outreach
When Brandon M. Phillips witnessed Haitian families stranded at the border—facing unimaginable hardship with no resources—he knew he had to act. What began as an emergency response is now an ongoing mission of food, supplies, medical assistance, dignity, and hope.
How It Started
From one emergency trip to the border to an ongoing mission across three countries.
Crisis at the Border
Thousands of Haitian migrants found themselves stranded at the U.S.-Mexico border in Tijuana. Families with young children were sleeping in the streets, without food, water, or basic necessities—and the world seemed to have forgotten them.
The First Trip
Brandon M. Phillips couldn’t look away. He organized an emergency trip to the border, bringing supplies, food, and a team of volunteers—immediate relief for hundreds of families in desperate need.
An Ongoing Mission
What began as an emergency response grew into an ongoing mission: emergency supplies, food, and medical assistance for Haitian communities wherever they face crisis.
Here at Home
Many families have resettled in Baltimore. We help them rebuild—food assistance, support navigating immigration processes, and connections to local resources.
“When you see a mother trying to comfort her hungry child with nothing to give, you can't unsee it. We had to do something. We had to be the sunshine during their darkest days.”
Stories from the Community
Real stories from families we've had the honor of serving.
When we arrived at the border, we had nothing. FutureThink Hub gave us food, water, and most importantly—hope. They treated us like family.
