Hey!! My name is Natalie Capasso, and I am a freshman involved in the Franciscan Center for Social Concern at Saint Bonaventure University.

I am a part of the Bona Scouts and Friends with Sisters programs, and I could not imagine my time at Bona's without them! Bona Scouts is a program that allows for the Scout curriculum to be taught in local schools by St. Bonaventure students. Friends with Sisters pairs students with religious women who reside at the Franciscan Sisters of Allegeny Motherhouse, and the weekly meetings form friendships and lasting bonds!

These programs give me the ability to connect with both ends of the spectrum of the community, whether it is teaching children or spending time with my Sister. The FCSC allows for us students to reach out to the needs of the surrounding community, and I am forever grateful for all the opportunities it gives me. Any donation, small or large, goes to a great cause. Thanks!!
