World Day of the Poor and Service Day

On November 16, 2022, Ladies of Charity observed World Day of the Poor at the Russell Salvatore Food Pantry and Outreach Center in Lackawanna. The day began with a prayer service led by Holly Walter. Approximately 45 ladies were in attendance. Following the prayer service 600 gift bags were assembled to be distributed by Catholic Charities to the homebound. Included in the gift bags were several personal items, small blankets, word search books and many items that were homemade by our Ladies of Charity. The Enchanted Taste Catering, of Depew served a hot lunch which included salad, breaded chicken, crispy potatoes and dessert. Many thanks to all the workers especially Carolyn Stewart, Julie Lulek, Kathy Roseti, Janice Ferguson and Marion Snyder for planning, purchasing and setting up the products and assembly line for the gift bags. There was a spirit of friendship and service for the poor felt by all.
