We Need Summer Pantry Volunteers!
A Pantry For All Souls, our Little Free Pantry on 15th Street, needs volunteers over the summer! Volunteer stewards visit the pantry 2-3 times per month to help keep the pantry clean and in working order–each visit only takes 10 minutes and the schedule is flexible. We need some extra volunteers over the summer to keep our schedule filled! Contact Maya Hermann at hermann.maya@icloud.com for more information.

All Souls Welcomes a New Afghan Family
A year ago, generous members of this congregation helped the family of Mohammad Monir Karimi settle into an apartment in Falls Church, Va. Recently, Monir’s brother Mukhtar journeyed here with his wife and three kids after a 2-year wait for visas. Like Monir, Mukhtar had worked for a contractor supporting the U.S. military in Afghanistan. The new arrivals will need cash, furniture, and a variety of household goods.
