You can help <strong>tie fleece blankets<\/strong> for those who are homeless, help <strong>build a bed for a toddler<\/strong> in need, support <strong>Afghan refugee families<\/strong>, clean up <strong>Stanley Reservation<\/strong> in Andover, work on a home with <strong>Habitat for Humanity<\/strong>, and prepare or distribute a <strong>meal at Bread and Roses<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Further details about each project and contact persons are included in this week\u2019s Forward with Faith.
