Participating in Saturday’s event was the Rev. Sally Jo Snyder, interim pastor of the Hot Metal Bridge Faith Community. She reflected on what it means to help the less fortunate.
“They’ve all been saying — this is the most powerful word I’ve heard from many: ‘We’re an afterthought, and we’ve contributed to this country. We still contribute, and no one seems to think of us or see us,’” Snyder said.
