[Announce] Grocery deliveries are this Saturday and Appeal for Funds

[Robert Waldrop]

We will be delivering food to the poor in the OKC area on Sat, Oct 25.  Meet at 9 AM at the Dorothy Day Center, 4909 N State Street, OKC.  This street runs into NW 50th along the east boundary of St. Charles Parish.  We will make about 275 or so deliveries.  This is typically a 2 to 3 hour commitment, depending on how many deliveries you want to do.

We will do our big holiday deliveries on the Saturday before Thanksgiving, and the Saturday before Christmas, if you want to "save those dates".  

We're also looking for about $3,000 so that we can include a bag of potatoes, onions, carrots, and celery with all of the holiday deliveries.  Many thanks to Mary Freeh, and the students at Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Okarche, who have committed to make holiday boxes of hard candies for all our Christmas deliveries.  I think she is asking people to save one pound folger's coffee containers that they intend to paint and decorate for the holidays and then fill with candy.  If you are in the OKC area, and use that brand, you can leave them at Epiphany Church to my attention, or drop them off on the front porch here at 1524 NW 21st (southeast corner of N McKinley and NW 21, its' the house with a forest instead of a yard.)

If you can help with these extra holiday expenses, please mail your check, payable to Oscar Romero Catholic Worker House, to 1524 NW 21, OKC, 73106.  Or you can send a donation via PayPal, using a credit card or e-draft on your checking account, to jpeaceokc at yahoo.com .

If you are in the OKC area and want to donate non-perishable food, you can leave it at Epiphany Church or on our porch.  If anyone happens to see a "killer deal" on canned hams in the OKC area, let me know in private email at bwaldrop at cox.net , because we'd like about 120 of them if we can afford them.
