Some 30 migrant families arrived at St. Paul Lutheran Church in Lodi last weekend to receive much-needed financial assistance during the COVID-19 pandemic.
For the last several months, Pastor Nelson Rabell has been helping migrant families throughout the Central Valley weather the pandemic with grant funds through Faith in the Valley’s California Immigrant Resilience Fund.
Rabell said he and the church received $50,000 in grant funds last December, and last Sunday, $500 was distributed to families from Stanislaus County.
