Social Justice Committee

Dear  St. Ann Church parishioners:
 
On behalf of Prudence Crandall Center, we are grateful for your generous collection of sheets, towels, toiletries, and children's clothing! Thank you for your efforts and kindness in providing us with these essential items. We are so honored that you thought of us and the survivors and families we serve. 
 
This year more than ever, we are humbled by the compassion and unwavering support of our community. Each gift and caring gesture is treasured by us all, lifting our spirits and strengthening our ability to always be there, regardless of the challenges, for victims and children in their time of need.  
 
While these times are full of uncertainty, the needs of victims and families experiencing domestic violence remain a constant. In fact, during this unprecedented year we faced a crisis of need for emergency safe shelter like we’ve never experienced before, and, with it, staggering costs and health safety concerns that continue at this time.  
 
With you by our side, we know we will rise to the challenges of the year ahead, stronger and more resilient than before. With your support, we will continue to provide survivors and their children with safety, healing, and hope for a bright future ahead.
  
 
We thank you, once again, for your vital contribution!
 
Sincerely, 
 
Carolyn                                                 Emmeline
