Here is our family presenting Fr. Mesmer with a check for the Food Pantry after the Mass for the Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God.
My mom ran this Food Pantry before she passed away in 2008.
Over the years we have had food delivered to many food banks and pantries all over the USA!
We have served as event sponsors for HARC's fundraiser called NYIWA.
If you are familiar with ARC, you are aware of how they enable people with disabilities to achieve full potential and enriched lives through their vital programs. We know many who receive their much needed services.
This is just a partial list and we thank Jesus for allowing to be His hands!
Sharing Christ through loving and helping others is what it’s all about!
I never do a good deed and then blab about it. It is when I do secret anonymous acts of kindness I feel best! I’ve refrained from mentioning what I’ve been doing but I have need to now.
We have anonymously paid for surgical procedures to be done for children whose parents were unable to pay for it. Otherwise, these children would not have been able to have necessary surgeries. I have witnessed way too many children suffer. Literally having to live in pain! It is haunting to be honest. I refused to stand by and let it happen.
After paying for many procedures, the Holy Spirit inspired me to take this to the next level and help more children. I decided then and there that I had to add a program that would provide a regular means of help. No child should have to live in pain if it can be helped! I have discussed some of them in past newsletters. Many of the children we have helped are in heart breaking situations and we end up helping them with food, clothing, special needs, etc.
Thank you so much for your kindness in helping us to help these kiddo’s! YOUR ORDERS help us do a whole lot of good...especially for children!
This is my Mom. My Mom and Dad ran Holy Family Food Pantry until she passed away in 2008 at the young age of 62.
She packed in so many lessons for me during her life! Her example spoke volumes.
She heard the cry of the poor and of those in need...and taught me that we can not ignore it!
My Mom's example was one of the biggest reasons that our family business/ministry felt compelled to do what we do.
Thanks to my Mom for always setting such a great example for me!
The needs of the Pediatric Giving Mission are increasing by the day... the requests keep pouring in and we are down to just a handful of helpers.
Yes, we use funds from orders to provide for this, but I have been running such crazy specials that sometimes there is little to nothing left over.
As you know, we provide gas and grocery gift cards for those dealing with a gravely or terminally ill child..we have paid for surgeries, special formulas and diets, mortgages and rent (we have even had families stay with us), provided transportation, etc.
---HELP IF YOU CAN----
Here is a post, from a recipient of what we do,.
L**** and I were one of the precipitants of This mission. She is right. My parking was 9 per day for 3 months. Then on top of that food cost me approximately 15 per day. That was cheap - I got vouchers for $5.00 per meal. So somedays I did not eat or made meals last for more then one meal. Had to. Parking was $810. Food was $1,300. Then you have normal household bills and I have 3 animals I had to pay to have people come and take care of them. At first I had my dog in the Kennel for 1/2 the time. That was about 500. It is VERY expensive to have a sick child. That was Just ONE hospital stay. We have had numerous ones. Some only a few days, some a week or two. Without their help we would of gone fully under!
From providing necessary funds to actually having families stay with us...we DO what we say we do!
