Thanksgiving Dinner serves 325 turkey meals to men and women

During the week of Thanksgiving, we hosted a white-linen turkey dinner at the PEPCO Gallery for men and women who are homeless (in all, we served 325 meals). After Father John blessed the food, live music, laughter and Thanksgiving smells filled the gallery. The food was catered by our very own Catholic Charities Enterprises, with beautiful tablesettings and decorations given by Ridgewells. Pepco opened the beautiful space to us and plenty of Pepco employees and their families volunteered.
VIDEO: Father John talks about why the evening is so special to him. <https://www.catholiccharitiesdc.org/page.redir?target=http%3a%2f%2fhttps%3a%2f%2fwww.youtube.com%2fwatch%3fv%3dKWyNXfwYvZ0%26feature%3dyoutu.be&srcid=15849&srctid=1&erid=783861&trid=3d0ba9a8-49b7-4873-bc1d-37ae71635b33>

After dinner, one man had the opportunity to jam with the musicans. Being homeless for 30 years, he hadn't played a guitar in the same amount time. On Tuesday night, however, he picked up right where he left off. 

 SHARE sends more than 10,000 Thanksgiving family meals into the community

The annual November distribution at the SHARE Food Network warehouse is organized chaos. Folks push huge carts loaded with frozen turkeys, boxes of stuffing (yum!), fresh veggies and of course, pumpkin pie. Always the busies month of the year, SHARE staff and hundreds of volunteers make it possible to assemble and move more than 10,000 meals for a family from truck to table at a price very affordable to low-income families.
One gentleman picked up more than two dozen Thanksgiving meals on a long lunch break from work for his church to give out in the week leading up to Thanksgiving. A huge thanks to all of our volunteers and a congratulations to the staff on another big Thanksgiving made possible!

Widening the circle  at the
Spanish Catholic Center Gala

The Catholic Charities Spanish Catholic Center Gala on November 15 at the Organization of American States was chaired by Charles and Grace Huebscher and the Honorary Chair Ramon Gil-Casares, Ambassador of Spain to the United States.  The evening, themed "Widening the Circle," was a celebration of Rev. Mario E. Dorsonville, Vice President for Mission and Immigrant Outreach, and his commitment to the Spanish Catholic Center over the past decade, as well as a chance to raise more funds to support over 22,000 immigrants served by Catholic Charities and the Center. In all, the Gala raised $ 820,000.
The three-man band, Manolito - the Gypsy, with their Latin beats and Flamenco flair, had the gala-goers on the dance floor in no time.
