World Central Kitchen – June 2-9
Our Special offering for the first half of June will support our special fundraiser (see article) for World Central Kitchen, which has partnered with local chefs and farmers to feed people in disaster areas around the world since 2010. They have been active in Haiti, Gaza, Israel, Ukraine, Syria, Puerto Rico and more.
LGBT Asylum Seekers Task Force – June 16-30
Our Special offering for the second half of 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.
