St. Barnabas Church is reaching out to communities in Mexico that were devastated by a recent earthquake.
Along with food like tacos and pozole (a traditional Mexican stew or soup), an Oct. 7 fundraiser featured entertainment.
Rev. Emilie Smith said the event raised just over $1,000, which will go to Casa de la Solidaridad, which will allocate the funds to where assistance is most needed.
“What we were feeling is that more than money, it’s the fact of noticing and caring. That’s the main thing our community was trying to say,” she said of the fundraiser. “We are not a wealthy community, but if we get together and have a big party and have a good time, we can send a little something.”
