Dear Saint Charles Caritas, Charity on the Border:

Happy Easter!

The Saint Charles Caritas would like to thank you all for the 7 years that you have supported this charity. We thank God for moving you to help this charity. You have helped more than 400 recipients for our 8 charities and our special projects in the TJ dumpsite composed of 1500 poor people. Your support and donations made it easier for us to do this task of charity. 

Schedule: 

March 27, Thursday at 6pm: Costco buy of basic food and cleaning products. All charity representatives from TJ will be at Coscto. 

March 29, Saturday, Project# 12 Distribution of Food for 250 families at the TJ dump site. Please volunteer. The more volunteer we have the easier and earlier we can finish the distribution. Please bring your passport or IDs with picture. Meeting time at 8am in front of the St. Charles office. We may carpool going to the border and the 2 vans will pick us up on the other side of the border. Please join us and feel the joy of giving.  

April 19 & 20, Saturday & Sunday is Saint Charles Caritas Day. Please see us at all exit doors. 100% of your donations will go to buy basic food and cleaning products and basic necessities for all our 8 charities. We need volunteers at the two 5pm masses. 

Thank you so much to: 

            *J. Aceves from Glendale CA for donating $500 Costco Cash card. This will be used on Thursday at Costco buy of food and cleaning products.            

             *Also, the Costco rebate for this year will be used for the Costco buy.

            *Our anonymous friend who has been our volunteer and donor, donated $500.     

            *The Knights of Columbus for their monthly donations thank you to the members and

president, Hermie Francisco. 

            *Mr. Jorge Leyva donated 22 (13 gal. bags) bags of T-Shirts plus toys. 98% of the T-shirts are brand new. These will be distributed at TJ dump site for Project#12. 

            *Mr. & Mrs. Carlos Ferreira, for arranging with a big grocery store to give us boxes of their discontinued items. 

            *The Parishioners of Saint Charles never fail to support us every month. 

            *To the good hearted individuals of Imperial Beach, who had been our good supporter for this cause.

             *Our beloved priests: Fr. Peter Ruggere, pastor. I attended his retreat last March 1^st, and he explained the Old Testament in laymen’s terms that the attendees could understand. He spoke about the “Covenant”. We are looking forward for future retreats from Fr. Peter.

            Our associate pastor, Fr. Edwin Tutor, Fr. Joseph Lal, and Fr. Vince for their support.   

May your days be always good and enjoyable.

 Sincerely yours,

 Merlyn Baker
