Youth Migrant Project
14 youth from our Parish attended the YMP (Youth Migrant Project) in the Skagit Valley the first weekend of August. Gracias to the OLG Parish for supporting our youth and praying for them, and for offering food and monetary donations for the Tri-Parish Foodbank we served. It was a wonderful experience for our your and the adult volunteers who joined them.
"The kids of the migrant families were so funny and relatable, and it was great to meet them." -Gresham
"Even if you think you are not a part of a major change, you are! You are helping to make a difference in someone's life." -Sophie
"When we were distributing food to the migrant workers, I noticed that they smiled a lot. Knowing that we were able to help someone in need, made me feel good inside. It was on of the best parts of YMP." -Matthew
