Caritas ‘Feast of Caring’
Set for Feb. 23
ach year in February, the “Feast of Caring” fundraiser
provides a chance to reflect on the work of Caritas and
to consider the direct impact the agency makes each day
on peoples’ lives.
Every day, the Caritas staff sees people who are experiencing much deprivation and heartache. These people
come for food to feed their families, clothing to keep them
warm or help them obtain jobs, help with prescription
medications, and other forms of emergency assistance.
Last year, Caritas served more than 24,000 families
with supplemental food assistance. The agency’s staff
and volunteers provided almost
$75,000 worth of items (mainly
clothing) through the two thrift
stores. They distributed more than
$242,000 worth of household items
to clients through the “Gifts in
Kind” program.
“These services are extremely
important to people who may have
lost their jobs, encountered other
severe economic problems or just
been unable to lift themselves from
a state of poverty,” said Buddy
Edwards, the agency’s executive
director.

speaker, Judge Ken Starr, at last
year's Feast of Caring.
Through the support of the Waco-McLennan County
community, Caritas continues to be able to respond to
overwhelming needs. “The Feast of Caring is our biggest
annual fundraiser,” Edwards said, “and it goes a long way
in helping us carry out our ministry.” This year’s Feast
will take place on Thursday, February 23 at 6 p.m. at the
McLennan Community College Conference Center, located
at 4601 North 19th Street.
The 2012 event will feature musical entertainment provided by the Waco High School Show Choir. The program

From the Director
T
he 2011 Food for Families Food Drive was the best ever and
produced a record level of food donations that go to support
the work of eleven food pantries in McLennan County. For the first
time in months, on November 18th the Caritas Warehouse shelves
appeared to be fully stocked.
Everyone working at Caritas was elated at the result, but, at
the same time, we fully understood that this was just a momentary
respite. We knew it would only be a short while before the shelves
would begin to seem rather bare and then almost empty again, if
we didn’t push our efforts aimed at securing food donations.
Bringing in such donations is a full-time business. Before one
food drive is completed, we’re out “beating the bushes” for the next
food donation. The need for emergency food assistance is just that
large. Although we had extremely busy months of November and
December, the number of people coming for help just doesn’t abate
after the holiday season. Our numbers now stay high all through the
year. It’s been that way ever since the economic downturn started
in 2008, and, with an almost 30 percent poverty rate in Waco, those
numbers probably won’t drop soon.
As a result, plans are underway for the second annual “Spring
onto Summer” food drive, which is slated for April 27th. We’re also
reaching out to area
organizations that
want to partner with
Caritas for “minifood drives” or other
novel approaches to
promoting food donations. Our “Food
from the Faithful”
program—through
which we partner with
faith-based groups to
regularly collect designated food items
for Caritas—is being
promoted. All of these
efforts are underway
to be sure we have
adequate food resources to provide to families in need.
If you would like to be involved in any of these initiatives, please
call Caritas and we’ll line you up! Caritas depends on the community to support our emergency service programs, whether it is food
donations, donations of clothing or household items, or financial
gifts. And if you ask if our food shelves are adequately filled, don’t
be surprised if you hear us say, “not for long!”

will also highlight the written expressions of
children from the Waco Charter School. The
students will participate in an essay contest
about the importance of “helping others in
need.”
The evening’s meal will be simple,
consisting of soup and bread, to help those
attending remember the people in our community who won’t have a nutritious meal
that day.
A couple of years ago, Waco was designated by the US Census Bureau as the fifth
poorest city in Texas. The state of Texas
ranked third in the US in the number of foodinsecure people, and fifth in the number of
people living in poverty. Nearly 30 percent
of the people in Waco and McLennan County
live below the poverty line.
“The Feast of Caring is held to help us
remember those hard facts,” Edwards said.
“But it is also held to celebrate all of the ways
that Caritas and its supporters have helped
alleviate those needs over the past year. Also,
the Feast of Caring soup, prepared by Mary
Duty of Poppa Rollo’s Pizza for many years,
is delicious. The bread, baked by Nelson Rue
and his staff at Schmaltz’s Sandwich Shop
is also delicious.”
“In addition to the evening’s entertainment,” Edwards said, ”there will be a silent
auction with many wonderful items for those
attending to bid upon.”
There is no charge for attending the
Feast, but Caritas leaders ask that donations
be made to Caritas in support of its emergency assistance programs. Gifts of any size
are greatly appreciated. You can mail your
donation for the Feast to: Caritas of Waco,
300 South 15th Street, Waco, Texas, 76701.
Organizational sponsorships are also
available for the event from as little as $150
to $5000. (Please contact Carolyn Hurst at
715-9021 for information about becoming a
sponsor.)
The folks at Caritas look forward to
gathering with you for this significant event.
Please make plans to attend—and to contribute what you can to this important cause.

What Does ‘Caritas’ Mean?
he Caritas of Waco staff and volunteers often hear this the direction of the Austin Diocese of the Catholic Church.
question: What does “Caritas” mean?
Within a few years, the local agency became an ecumenical,
The word is Latin. It means “love,” unmerited and interfaith effort, involving and celebrating representatives
unconditional love. It comes from the Vulgate, an official from a diverse group of faith communities. Throughout all

Hunger Coalition Uses Valero
Grant to Help Feed Local Children
by Brett Chase
T
he McLennan County Hunger Coalition (MCHC) was
pleased to have the opportunity to donate $10,000 to
the McLennan County Pack of Hope program earlier this
month. This past summer, MCHC Chairperson (and former
Caritas director) Kenneth Moerbe applied for a grant from
the Valero Energy Corporation.
Valero raises around $9 million annually from their
charity PGA golf tournament and donates the money to
nonprofits in their service area. One stipulation of the
grant was that the money go towards programs that dealt
with improving the lives of children. Moerbe recognized
the need in Waco’s local Pack of Hope program for more
funding, so he wrote the grant proposal with that group
in mind.
A few months later, members of MCHC were excited
to hear that Valero had decided to donate $22,500 towards
efforts to reduce child hunger in this area. The MCHC board
decided that the money would best be used to fund the
Pack of Hope Program, which provides nutritious meals for
children on weekends in nine school districts in McLennan
County.
This program is crucial because of the large number of
homeless and disadvantaged children in this community;
nearly 30 percent of the people in Waco and McLennan
County live in poverty.
Many children in this area rely on school breakfast and
lunch programs for their food, and
they do not have access to any food
at all during weekends.
The Pack of Hope Program fulfills
the needs of these children by providing them a box of food that is placed
inside their backpacks. The food includes a variety of child-friendly and
nutritious food items, from granola
bars to macaroni and cheese.
$2,000 of the $10,000 donation
was given to Pack of Hope for their
immediate use. The remaining $8,000 will be given to
that group in the form of matching donations. What this
means is that, for every $2 donated to Pack of Hope by the
community, the Hunger Coalition will give $1. This has
the potential to generate an additional $24,000 in funding,
and will possibly allow the program to grow and include
more schools in McLennan County.
The McLennan County Hunger Coalition, “united to
end hunger in McLennan County,” works with organizations that deal with hunger, poverty, and food insecurity
in the community. MCHC is currently housed by Caritas of
Waco and has one Americorps Vista (Volunteers in Service
to America) worker, Brett Case. Brett will be with MCHC
for one year and is working toward capacity building for
the program.
MCHC meets on the second Thursday of each month
at Caritas of Waco, 300 South 15th Street, and is open for
any individual to attend. For more information regarding
meetings and membership, contact Brett Case at mchcvista@
gmail.com or visit mclennanhunger.org.

money will be used for a program that

Bellmead Thrift Store Gets Facelift
Above: Staff and volunteers at the Caritas Thrift Store in Bellmead—along
with members of the Caritas board of directors and officials from the City of
Bellmead—cut a ribbon to celebrate recent repairs to the front of the store,
located at 3016 Bellmead Drive.
Through a grant provided by the City of Bellmead, the Caritas store received a new coat of paint, a new canopy over the front door, landscaping and
new signage. These updates significantly improve the exterior appearance of
the store and make for a more inviting shopping setting.
“The City of Bellmead received funding to improve store fronts of buildings located on Bellmead Drive, and the thrift store met the guidelines to
receive assistance for the improvements,” Buddy Edwards, Caritas executive
director, said.
While the exterior has been upgraded, special efforts have also been taken
to enhance shopping on the inside—rearranging, reorganizing and cleaning
the shopping areas in the store have made it easier to find items and to see
specials that would be of interest to shoppers.
Three Things the Caritas
Thrift Stores Do
We at Caritas know that we could
not operate without our volunteers. You are the heartbeat of all
that we do.
Many of you will be helping
us get ready for the Feast of Caring on Feb. 23rd, and many of you
will be helping on the day of the
Feast. And we are very grateful
for all of your work.
We hope you will also remember that we need you almost
every day of the year, to work in
the food pantry, to help out in the
thrift stores, and in many other
ways. If you are interested in doing this, please call me at 753-4593
x203, or email me at kwcaritas@
grandecom.net.
With your continuing help,
we will continue to serve our
neighbors in need.
Many thanks,
Khalilah Warren

Administrative Assistant
The Caritas Thrift Stores play a key role in the emergency services the agency
provides to people in need. This happens in three ways:
1. Clothing and other items available in the stores have regularly been
provided to people without charge.
2. The prices of items being sold are purposefully kept low to offer an
affordable shopping venue for people with limited incomes.
3. The revenues generated by the stores help support the overall Caritas
operations.
Currently, Caritas has two thrift stores—one at 3016 Bellmead Drive and
the other at 3116-3118 Franklin.

Spring 2012
O
n November 18, many people in Central
Texas participated in Food for Families—
the annual one-day food drive spearheaded
by KWTX-TV and sponsored by H-E-B Food
Stores, the Texas National Guard and the Boy
Scouts of America. In McLennan County alone,
the drive brought in more than 400,000 pounds
of food—40,000 more than 2010’s efforts. This
food drive is an extremely crucial event for
area food pantries. The food donated during
the drive takes a little of the pressure from the
agencies that are struggling to serve the escalating number of people requiring emergency
food assistance.

Beaumont Foundation Grant
Provides Fresh Produce
to Caritas Clients
aritas has received a 2012 grant from the Beaumont Foundation of America, which
has supported, for several years, the agency’s efforts to provide fresh fruit and
vegetables to families needing emergency food assistance. The nutritional value of
food being given to Caritas clients is important, and being able to supplement traditional canned or boxed foods with fresh produce is a valuable asset.
The agency periodically polls clients to determine what types of produce might
be well received. However, an assortment of items is generally made available. Typically, such fresh food as tomatoes, oranges, grapefruits, apples, carrots, cabbages and
potatoes are given to clients in their food orders.
This marks the sixth year in which the Beaumont Foundation has provided this
grant. The Beaumont Foundation, located in Beaumont, TX, is dedicated to enriching
the lives, and enhancing the futures, of less fortunate children and youth, families and
the elderly, with a focus on improving education, health care and social services.
Did you know
that childhood hunger is
one of the major issues in
McLennan County?
Did you know that it gets
worse during the summer,
when kids aren't in school?
Did you know that
donations to food pantries
go down during the
summer, while more
children experience
hunger?
Last spring, the Caritas Food
Pantry, Shepherd's Heart Food
Pantry and the McLennan
County Hunger Coalition
sponsored the first Spring
Onto Summer Food Drive to
help meet those. Youth and
children's groups spearheaded
the efforts. With children
helping children, we hope
to do the same this year on
April 27th.

Caritas/Ladies of Charity
Thrift Store Moves to Franklin
Above: Caritas staff and volunteers—along with members of the board of directors
and representatives from the Waco Chamber of Commerce—cut a ribbon to mark
the opening of the Caritas/Ladies of Charity store in its new location. The thrift store
that was located at the Caritas headquarters at 1500 S. Mary recently moved to 3116
and 3118 Franklin Avenue.
“This relocation is driven by the need to utilize space formerly occupied by the
thrift store for improvements to the Caritas warehouse and headquarters. We also
feel like this is a more visible and accessible location,” said Buddy Edwards, Caritas
executive director. “We believe this will increase the store’s customer volume and
increase furniture sales.”
The new thrift store opened in early November.
