Human to Human: Touching Lives
Human to Human: Touching Lives
Mark Rogers, Director, Human to Human
uman to Human continues to share Jesus’ mission of mercy, compassion & hope in the world by serving those who are among the most vulnerable in our society.
The organizations Human to Human supports continue to serve over 1,000 meals per month while providing community to our veterans through Building Bridges. Marie’s Mission provides diapers to over 150 families per month, and we continue to work with Mary D’Alessandro as she provides love, guidance, and dignity to inmates and those recently released from the Western Regional Women’s Correctional Center in Chicopee. We help to provide the dignity of clean laundry with Worcester’s Laundry Love, and to give clothing and other essentials to children entering foster care with Lydia’s Closet.
Your generosity continues to make all of this possible and we will continue. That, however, is not the end of the story. Bishop Fisher’s goal is to build Human to Human into an organization that will allow him to use his favorite phrase, “go for it,” when ideas to spread that mission of mercy, compassion, and hope present themselves from Worcester County to the Berkshires!
We have been asked where Human to Human fits with the rest of the diocese and your parish. That mission and vision tell the story. Human to Human will become a permanent part of the Episcopal Diocese of Western Massachusetts charitable value proposition.
The influence of Human to Human supported missions spreads. For example, parishes provide back packs and other support to the women Mary D’Alessandro serves. One of the Building Bridges sites has begun to provide palliative foot care at their lunches, and the list goes on.
In short, if you are interested in a place where your generosity knows no bounds, no religious litmus test, and that crosses socio, economic, gender and racial boundaries, Human to Human is for you.
We invite your participation. ♦
