Hope Center Ministry Announcement

  

  

Our Court’s charity project continues to flourish each month with dedicated Sisters in Christ meeting to assemble the 50 ‘double’ manna bags with items donated by members of the Court. Two members meet prior to manna bag assembly to prepare 50 hearty and tasty PBJ sandwiches. Each double manna bag weighs approximately 5, yes 5 pounds!! And, that is without a sandwich. The box of sandwiches is placed at the front door along with the oldest manna bags in the kitchen and each guest receives one double manna bag or two single manna bags plus a PBJ sandwich (more if the guest count is less than 50). You may or may not know but Hope Center dates all food items that come into the kitchen including boxes or containers or shopping bags that hold manna bags. Members donation of time and food items are greatly appreciated, thank you, thank you.


In addition to manna bags, there are two other ways to help the guests of HCH:

(1) Funding of paper items that are used on a daily or regular basis. Currently Hope Center is using ‘to-go’ containers to serve hot meals Monday thru Friday and wrapped plastic ware for the guests to use to eat their hot lunch. The best way to support this program is by check payable to Peggy O’Neil and note on the memo line “HCH Paper Goods”. Peggy and Mike keep the paper good supplies current at Hope Center. A financial contribution ensures that Hope Center receives the type of paper goods that work best for the Center. Checks may be dropped at the CGS office if in an envelope marked “Peggy O’Neil CDA” or mailed directly to Peggy. Please email: catholicdaughters2731@gmail.com for address.

  

(2)  They could always use 2-person tents, this time of year lightweight sleeping bags, men’s jeans-smaller waist sizes, or your time as a volunteer!


You may visit our Amazon Wishlist at https://smile.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/25456XE7AMYB9 or Walmart to find $10 backpacks, $20 tents and 40-count bottled water for $4.12. 


Donations may be handled several ways: call Karen or Priscilla for pickup and they will deliver to HCH; drop donation at Church and notify Karen or Priscilla that you have left a donation with the CGS Receptionist and they will pick up your donation and deliver to HCH; deliver yourself to HCH between the hours of 10-1:15 M-F and mention your affiliation with CDA at CGS, but the donation is from YOU!!


Your continued support of our Court’s ministry to Hope Center Houston in 2022 is much appreciated!! Thank You!
