This Thanksgiving, as we count our blessings, may we remember the 700 Long Island Refugees and 8,000 homeless in Boston.

Dozens of faith leaders have mobilized to fight for those who have been displaced due to the recent Long Island Shelter Closure.

“For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you gave me clothing, I was sick and you took care of me, I was in prison and you visited me.’
~Matthew 25:35-36
