Can you help by donating food to families in need this Christmas?
Our goal is to provide 10,000 presents of food to needy families in Atlanta, Chicago, Cleveland, Denver, Los Angeles, New York, New Orleans, Philadelphia, San Francisco and Washington D.C.
Also, each of the minimum 10,000 boxes will include a card with one of his personal prayers. We intend to feed not only the body, but also the soul.
The contents of each present will provide necessary food to prepare “pasta with tomato sauce,” the most important Italian dish.
Saint Pio of Pietrelcina is a champion of the poor. During his lifetime, Saint Pio was able to establish the hospital “Home for the Relief of Suffering” in Southern Italy.
This hospital provides healthcare to everyone regardless of their ability to pay. During Christmastime, Saint Pio fed the poor by opening the doors of the hospital, inviting neighbors to celebrate the season with friars, doctors, staff and patients. As an important act of kindness, the poorest in the area were provided a hot meal by the friars.OUR PARTNERS:
