I'm also attaching a photo from a recent fundraiser at Zion Lutheran Church in March 2022, "Pilar's Stands with Local Afghan Refugee Families," of two volunteers: Stephanie Harrell (at left), a UM staff member, and Nicole Lopez, a UM student, both current board members of Pilar's Foundation. With last year's efforts, we proudly raised $10,000 for Jewish Family Services' resettlement of Afghan refugee families into Washtenaw County.
