JOINING HANDS IN A COMMON GOAL

Stewpot extends our deepest gratitude for St. Mark’s Episcopal Church’s generous support in providing money for bus passes several times in the past year. St. Mark’s has supported Stewpot with volunteer teams for many years. Your contributions have made a significant impact on the lives of underserved individuals within our community.

Access to reliable transportation is a crucial factor in ensuring that people can reach their jobs, attend medical appointments, and participate in community activities. Your support has enabled individuals to overcome transportation barriers, making a positive difference in their daily lives.
The bus passes you provide are more than just tickets for a ride—they are keys to opportunity, stability, and
independence.

Stewpot deeply appreciates St. Mark’s dedication to supporting our cause and the trust you place in us to distribute these resources effectively.


We look forward to continuing this impactful partnership and making even greater strides together.
