Saint John S Episcopal Church And School

With her Isuzu Amigo loaded with bags of donated food and clothing, the Rev. Lisa R.

While most of the residents of Porterville have been evicted in recent weeks by landowner Sam Porter, those remaining were grateful to see Golden and her fellow church member Fernando Pedraza.
