THE INTERFAITH REFUGEE and Immigration Services & Empowerment organization representatives received a $2,000 cash donation and a supply of baby diapers and school supplies collected by the members of the Redeemer Lutheran Church in Vineland. The church raised the money through their Annual Strawberry Festival and a special outdoor concert. Members also donated items. The Interfaith-RISE South office, located at 2384 E. Landis Ave., provides services to Ukrainian and other refugee families settling in South Jersey. The service is in great need of baby diapers (sizes 2-5) and household items for the families.
