The Autura Eason-Williams Day of Lament and Action (AEWDLA) was conceived by the Late Rev. Roger Hopson and the Rev. Marilyn E. Thornton as a time to honor the memory of the Rev. Dr. Autura Eason-Williams, who was removed from us by gun violence on July 18, 2022, by offering a time of lament for other similar losses in black communities and providing opportunity for people to engage in discussion and formulate solutions for gun violence awareness, reduction, and repair.

This year’s Health Fair & Back-to-School Drive will be held on July 29, 2023. As you know, every year during our Annual Health Fair our youth gear up their engines for our Annual Back-to-School Drive. In the past, we were able to supply over 400 Pre-K-12 students, and this year we are anticipating more! We need your help! Although we are currently accepting donations of basic school supplies, we prefer monetary donations to purchase needed school supplies.

Please download the school supply card and use the list to fill a bag with school supplies. We will place the supplies in backpacks and hand them out to families during the 2023 Health Fair.

Please bathe the bag of supplies in prayer once it has been filled. Pray that the student that receives it will have a successful school year.
