Branch Highlight: California State University, San Bernardino
AMWA at CSUSB has a monthly volunteer program at Mary’s Mercy Center for members to participate in. Mary’s Mercy Center is a nonprofit providing a range of services like serving balanced hot meals six days a week, distributing approximately 1,000 bags of food, providing free showers, medical screenings, free dental clinics, distributing free clothing, and assisting mothers in crisis with infant needs.

AMWA at CSUSB also runs Veronica’s Home of Mercy, a long-term Catholic Christian transitional home for up to 30 women and their children that serves as alternatives to abuse and homelessness.

Thank you for your service to your community. Keep up the incredible work!
