ASSISTING A SOMALI FAMILY IN OUR COMMUNITY
Thanks to help from Catholic Charities, St. Peter has begun helping a Somali refugee family who is currently living in the Enola area. The family is comprised of a woman, her elderly mother with health issues, 6 children and one grandchild. The mother is currently working but not earning enough to feed her large family. We have assisted by taking her to New Hope Ministries twice a month for food, beginning her ESL education, attending school activities in preparation for the new school year and collecting toys and school supplies for this family. We are currently looking for housing closer to Mechanicsburg which is where the majority of the Somali people living in this area live.
