From our friends at Rocktown Rallies (a Harrisonburg-based group that
advocates for and supports refugees https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.rocktownrallies.org_&d=CwIFaQ&c=eLbWYnpnzycBCgmb7vCI4uqNEB9RSjOdn_5nBEmmeq0&r=8oOnfW0o_gDuNHtlK1lucpCqrUA0NtUUligDyikGnN8&m=iNJWgeuXHuTOFUyTYSyrZL423pXtu2_3EW53RlyikIc&s=lgKY6wT1epRvGJD90Rjl5KJajnnX_HmRxnEK3awWU4s&e=  ) and
the Church World Service Harrisonburg Refugee Resettlement Office:

“Can people please spread the word that the community, in show of support
to our Muslim neighbors, can bring 'to go' type lunches that don't contain
pork or gelatin to the Islamic Center of the Shenandoah Valley (IASV)
between 12:00-2:00pm this Friday, Feb. 3. The Islamic Center address is
1330 Country Club Rd, Harrisonburg, VA 22802.

Volunteers will collect the food at IASV and have it ready for people
leaving the prayer service to take with them as they return to work.

People could also bring bigger dishes to share. Then some people can grab a
bag and run to work, others could go through a buffet line with 'to go'
boxes and decide to take the food with them or eat it at the mosque.

People can contact Rebecca Sprague, CWS Harrisonburg Refugee Resettlement
Office, https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__cwsharrisonburg.org_&d=CwIFaQ&c=eLbWYnpnzycBCgmb7vCI4uqNEB9RSjOdn_5nBEmmeq0&r=8oOnfW0o_gDuNHtlK1lucpCqrUA0NtUUligDyikGnN8&m=iNJWgeuXHuTOFUyTYSyrZL423pXtu2_3EW53RlyikIc&s=O8LXnYMWlp7XDFv_vKpIL9xrIiHg-mDUr1Z79VyC8q8&e=   (540) 433-7942, with questions.

We also need volunteers to help with food, 'to go' type containers, forks
and bottled water/beverages. Thanks everyone!”
