Because of the Covid pandemic, many families without jobs struggle to keep up with the basic necessities for survival. The Sisters felt a need to assist these families in preparing for back to school by helping with school supplies. They reached out and collaborated with Fr. David and Marilyn Garvin at St. Martin’s De Porres parish on Southside Belize City to donate school supplies, including bag packs, books, pencils, pens, crayons, markers, erasers, etc. This donation will be used to assist 20 + students in preparing for the beginning of school.
Pittsburgh Sisters Collect for Food Bank
The Pittsburgh Community of Sisters of Charity of Nazareth, along with the residents of Vincentian Villa and Terrace, participated in a food drive to honor St Vincent’s words “…to serve the poor is to go to God.” Over 40 bags filled to the brim were delivered to North Hills Community Outreach Food Bank along with a check for $325 to continue their service to the poor.
Great collaboration!!!!
Helping 20 students to start the school year with the right tools is an excellent accomplishment! May the students have a year of great learning.
Wonderful! Fantastic! Great ministry!
