The Terwilliger Plaza Social Accountability Committee has a long history of supporting the Immigrant and Refugee Community Organization (IRCO), providing donations to help seniors and refugees in need. This holiday season, we carried on our cherished tradition of assembling holiday stockings filled with essentials and treats—alongside our Life Enrichment team, assisted living Members, and students from St. Mary’s Academy.

Building on this tradition, our Committee sought to make an even greater impact by delivering donation bags directly to seniors at Africa House. We are grateful for the opportunity to support IRCO’s mission and look forward to future initiatives that bring joy and enrichment to the lives of seniors and refugees throughout the year.
