Jane St. Anthony
"For now, I can't think of an excuse big enough to keep us from cooking once a month. It's a privilege to be part of the community."

Mark Bishop
Clare House is my only focus," says Mark. "I like to go deep and really get into the mission and messages of the organization. Giving a lot to one place feels more important to me personally than giving a little to many places."
Lori and Paul
When Agape Dos was in the planning stages, Lori Nieters and Paul Wilkin became aware of the "AIDS house" that was being built on their block. "It really interested us both, but we were too busy to become involved at that time."
