Oak Grove Presbyterian Church served as the fiscal sponsor for Bloomington Mutual Aid’s emergency rent relief efforts for immigrant neighbors during a period of heightened ICE activity in the Bloomington area.
Applications for emergency rent relief closed on June 10, 2026. Thanks to the generosity of this community, Bloomington Mutual Aid distributed over $830,000 to support more than 250 families during the crisis.
