Our Special offering for June will support the LGBT Asylum Seekers Task Force, located in Worcester. The Task Force supports people who have had to flee their home countries because of their sexual orientation and/or gender identity. In recent years, a number of countries have adopted laws with extremely harsh penalties—even death—for being LGBTQ. As a result, the task force has been overwhelmed by the numbers of asylum seekers arriving. Our special offering will help pay for housing, food, legal counsel and community support. Please give generously as you are able.
