We're in the Akron Area Interfaith Council newsletter!

"Special thanks to Bethany Church and Peninsula United Methodist, who helped to cook for the Projecto Raices middle school summer camp. It was so moving to see the communication between the kids and the helpers."

Join the AAIC Summer Potluck and connect with the broader community over food, refreshments, and good company! Bring a dish or dessert to share if you can. Everyone is welcome, even if you can’t! The potluck will take the place of the AAIC July meeting.
