UST Attends Welcome the Stranger Vigil

On Tuesday, September 17, our Support Services Coordinator, Nat, and Americorps VISTA member, Phillip, attended a Welcome the Stranger Vigil hosted by the First Unitarian Church in Toledo, Ohio.  The vigil was attended by members of the church’s congregation, as well as a handful of organizations that work with refugees and other immigrant populations in Northwest Ohio.  The event provided each organization the opportunity to speak about their services and offer the congregation ways that they can get in involved.  The vigil was concluded with a silent meditation to stand in solidarity with migrants at the U.S and Mexico border.  US Together Toledo hopes to partner with the First Unitarian Church in the future for other events!
