As part of the holy month of Ramadan, members of the local Dialogue Institute and Rainbox Foundation, longtime friends of St. James’, delivered 27 boxes of food for distribution to needy members of the community. Each box was prepared separately for a family, which greatly facilitated distribution. We are honored to be part of this interfaith initiative.
