The Rev. Janet Newton, a minister at the Unitarian Universalist Society of Marthaβs Vineyard, said, "The vineyard is often seen as a playground for the rich and powerful, and that shapes how outsiders see the Vineyard."
During the off-season in the vineyard, people struggle. In the geographically isolated community, year-round residents have learned to care for each other through community and hospitality.
Kudos to all of the community leaders - on Marthaβs Vineyard who welcomed these strangers with love, care, and dignity.
