Thanks to our friends at St. Louis Church in Batesville, IN, we had a good selection of shoes after our first sale...so we took our show on the road...literally on the road. Much like a Jamaican Vendor the friars, sisters and Church Council members set up shop just outside Sacred Hearts Church n Pinto. A large number of good shoes... but a small crowd with the threat of rain. All-in-all the two days of shoe sales brought in $64,000 Jamaican Dollars... just
about $1,000 US. That money helps us keep the feeding program cook's salary funded. THANKS to all who donated shoes...boxed the shoes and made these available to the people of St. Mary's and Missions.
In addition to the shoes...a number of slightly used prom dresses where available. These dresses were donated through a contact at The Catholic High School of Baltimore are a hot item for Sunday Church. Here you can see Sr Naomi helping AvaGay try on a potential buy.
[The shipping of shoes, school supplies and any collections the folks in Batesville do for us, is courtesy of Hill-Rom (the hospital bed maker, also in Batesville, IN). We'd like to take this space to say thank you to our friends at Hill-Rom.]
