Food for Viva House
Once every month the Catholic Worker community Viva House distributes bags of groceries to the families in their southwest Baltimore neighborhood. Three times each year the community of Saint Ignatius supports them in this good work, most recently on July 11, 2010. We are grateful to the many parishioners who brought a doubled brown paper grocery bag (or reusable cloth bag) filled with: 1 canned vegetable, 2 cans soup, 2 cans pork & beans, 1 spaghetti sauce, 1 lb. spaghetti, 2 cans meat (e.g., sloppy joes), 2 macaroni & cheese, 1 cereal (low or no sugar), 1 peanut butter, 1 jelly, toothpaste, and toothbrushes. The bags were delivered to Viva House after Mass that day and distributed to the families on Monday.
