Hunger Doesn't
Take a Vacation
During 2007, Catholic Charities provided emergency food pantries to 4,500 families which included over 13,000 men, women and children. In addition, they served over 49,000 individuals with daily perishable goods including breads and vegetables. With the rising price of food and gas, Catholic Charities is seeing an increase of 25% in requests for this assistance. Catholic Charities, with the support of Archbishop Curtiss, will be collecting monetary donations to support the Emergency Food Pantry during the weekend of July 12 & 13. Envelopes will be available for contributions. Please be generous and donate to Catholic Charities Emergency Food Pantry. Thank you.
