ASYLUM SEEKERS OUTREACH
Congratulations to Nuala & Aoife Bonner who led a Food Drive benefiting St. John's Episcopal Church Food Pantry, demonstrating remarkable compassion & leadership. They set up a tote box w/ a banner outside their house to inform the community & curated an Amazon wishlist bringing in over 500 lbs of food donations! Ascension is so proud of Nuala & Aoife! Thank you both!
