As word spread on Martha’s Vineyard Wednesday that a group of migrants had been flown to the island unannounced, and there was no organized plan to care for them, Tim Dobel felt like there wasn’t much that he could do.
The sudden need to find shelter and medical care — not to mention the politics that fueled the decision to drop them on his community’s lap — were well beyond his control.
But at the very least, he and the staff at Mocha Mott’s in Vineyard Haven could make sure they had a hot cup of coffee to keep them warm. “These people are so exhausted and feel used by the people that sent them here,” said Dobel, who co-owns the coffee shop. “It’s the least we could do.”
Local businesses, community groups, and volunteers from across the island sprung into action Wednesday night and into Thursday to help make the unanticipated arrival of more than 40 immigrants a more welcoming experience. In the face of what elected leaders called “a cruel ruse” and a “shameless political stunt,” everyone from teachers to store clerks to retirees banded together at lightning speed to assist the group in a time of need, without a second thought.
Dobel said it was after closing hours Wednesday night when they stepped up. His daughter, Casey Engley, who is six-months pregnant, fired up the brewers, filled up a few cartons of fresh joe, and hand-delivered it to St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church, where the migrants had settled in for the night.
Dobel himself dropped off a second batch of coffees Thursday morning. He said he saw a flurry of activity at the church, as EMTs arrived to tend to the migrants’ medical needs. Boxes of pastries had already arrived, and breakfast sandwiches were on the way.

Give them 10,000 future ‘Rat voters to care for.
It’s very nice that they want to take care of them...
When will Biden be held accountable for enabling an illegal invasion of our country?!
Wait a minute. I thought those who went to Martha’s Vineyard were told what the circumstances would be and that they agreed to being bused there.
Where are the Obama’s and their super rich friends?
From this article, I imply, they do nothing!
It seems the few middle class residents of the island are the only ones helping!
As to be expected.

And then, after these noble actions, make arrangements to get the migrants the hell OUT OF THEIR COMMUNITY…. “Without a second thought”.
OMG a cup of coffee to keep them warm on a hot summer day, these people are INSANE!!
“Rent’s too dam High...”
precisely as BBC and other world media is portraying this story. bad Republican in Florida sent these poor people to MV and the islanders all rallied to held them.
Apparently not.
The Vineyard pretty much empties out after the summer. Anyone who’s not a permanent resident leaves.
“Lightning speed”
Neato. Ask for more.
Im being used by the illegal aliens who sent themselves here ...
Wheres my hot cup of coffee ???
After maybe 12-1500 arrive, their tune may change
BTW idiot word travels fast ...
Many more illegal aliens will insist on going to Marthas Vinyard ...
Youre going too need a bigger coffee pot ...
“to assist the group in a time of need, without a second thought.”
Send more. Send them all. “without a second thought”
And make sure to notify them 87ks that your donations are legit.
NOPE.
The exact opposite happened.
Watch this Tucker Carlson segment, and see the whiny woke, rich whites moan about DeSantis and Tucker Carlson (of all people) sending illegals there. They are not happy.
