Catholic Worker House Donations
The generosity of the Women's Guild is abundant. With donations from many members, we had a full car load of food to serve some 100 people at the Catholic Worker House in Des Moines. Mary Kay Suckow made the delivery on Friday for a meal this Sunday.
We filled two full coolers of meat and cheese, with special thanks to Carol Smith who coordinated this with Beckie Greiner at Sacred Heart School. Workers were surprised and happy about Darlene Mashek's cavatelli meal.
The Catholic Worker House staff said, smiling "This is a real cornucopia. Thank you!"
