their human-rights work with less concern about financial challenges.
Thanks

Super Suppers Continue to Grow
We are seeing a steady increase in the numbers of people coming to our
Super Supper at the end of each month. We now serve between 25 and 30
persons per meal. It is our wish that all will be fed, and no one will be
turned away hungry. We are seeking to increase the number of volunteers
that will bring food each month. The Cedars Choir signed up six people to
bring food and to help with set up and clean up in March. Is your
committee ready to step up and help? Please contact the
Super Suppers coordinator.

projects to which we can make a positive and substantive contribution.”
