Mennonite Voluntary Service
Each year, the San Francisco MVS unit is invited to gather together and craft comforters for themselves. Karen Kreider Yoder, a member of the unit's host congregation, First Mennonite Church of San Francisco, hosts the group at her home for this annual tradition. At the end, each participant takes home their own cozy comforter to use during their service term and beyond! Left to right: Keyan Krabill, Bella Kephart, Emmi Scott and Ana Neufeld Weaver.
