This is information that I need because I don’t have any idea about the history of Avon Interfaith.
Avon Interfaith exists to support the Avon community through volunteer service, fundraising and distribution, and organizational support. Avon Interfaith has supported the Avon Food Pantry since 19XX by communicating needs to the faith community, raising funds through projects like the Avon Walk for Hunger, and arranging food collection.
Avon Interfaith also supports other community organizations, both faith-based and secular, including the senior center, the nursing home, Stone’s Closet, and the Avon Free Library.
