Thank You for Your Support

June 11, 2025

Dear Friends in Christ,

Donors raised nearly $600 during our Memorial Day campaign. (That's 120 meals for vets!) I write to thank them and all who have given in some way to Human to Human since it's founding in 2019.

Human to Human raises funds for several frontline ministries. Building Bridges is a big part of Human to Human and every $5 raised is a meal for a veteran in one of our many community lunches.

Our newest location is All Saints' in South Hadley. They held their very first lunch for veterans this month. I had the joy of visiting another location recently - Church of the Reconciliation in Webster. As a heartfelt thank you, and as a way into these wonderful gatherings, I offer you a few minutes of my conversation with Dan Gagne, a veteran of the US Army. You'll hear how important these meals are those who have served our nation and find community in our churches over a simple meal made with love.

We started Building Bridges shortly after I was ordained as your Bishop. I am so grateful our program, originated and still led by the Rev. Chris Carlisle, has blossomed into more than fifteen sites across the Episcopal Diocese of Western Massachusetts and throughout the Commonwealth. This could not have happened without your help.

God bless you and all whom you love,

The Right Reverend Douglas J. Fisher

Bishop, Western Massachusetts
