 About Travelers Aid

Travelers Aid, the oldest, non-sectarian social welfare organization in the United States, has become known as the “Number One name in airport customer assistance.” In 2008, TA assisted 6.5 million individuals at transportation centers and provided casework services to an additional 200,000 individuals in crisis. While each of its 51 member agency shares the core service of helping stranded travelers, many Travelers Aid agencies provide shelter for the homeless, transitional housing, job training, counseling, local transportation assistance and other programs to help people in their communities who encounter crises as they journey through life.
