2014 Feast of Caring to Feature
Popular Soup Cook-Off
Fundraiser to be Held on April 8
L
ast year, the Caritas “Soup Cook-Off” was just an idea for refreshing the
annual Feast of Caring. However, in one short year, the Cook-Off has
already grown so much that a larger facility is required to accommodate the
number of people. Also, the number of participating restaurants has doubled
from 10 to 20.
You may be asking, “What’s the Soup Cook-Off? and why should I go?”
The event—to be held on April 8th at 6 p.m. in the Brazos Room of the Waco
Convention Center—allows attendees the chance to sample soup from some
of Waco’s favorite restaurants and to vote (with their contributions) for the
soup they like best. In addition, bread and crackers are provided to nibble on
as you attempt to sample as many soups as possible.
And there’s more! Jim Alvarado, a well-known and popular disc jockey, will
be on hand to mingle in the crowd and entertain attendees with his personable

From the E x e c u t i v e D i r e c t o r :
Caritas: More Than
A Food Pantry
S
ince its beginning in 1967, Caritas
has been a provider of food and
other services urgently needed by people in distress. We have been one of the
largest food pantries in the area—if not
the state.
We have provided an array of services—from distributing clothing to
helping with utilities, rent, prescription
medications and other needs for thousands of families in our community.
And we intend to continue offering this
immediate response that people can rely
on when they face life crises.
However, Caritas is emerging as
something more than a food pantry.
With the creation of its first case-management program, Caritas can now work
with clients to thoroughly assess the
range of circumstances that have placed
them in need of urgent assistance, and to
identify specific steps that the clients can
take themselves (or in coordination with
the case manager) to solve these underlying issues and move to a greater level of
independence and a reduced reliance on
ongoing emergency aid.
Also, starting in January of 2014,
the HELPINGS: SNAP Outreach Program became an official service of Caritas. Since its inception in 2005, HELPINGS has operated under the direction
and funding of the McLennan County
Hunger Coalition (MCHC). Because the
Coalition is primarily focused on hunger
education and advocacy, it was decided
by both the MCHC and Caritas boards
that HELPINGS would have a more appropriate fit within the organizational
structure of Caritas.
This transition was made possible
through the help of grants to Caritas
from the Waco Foundation’s Masterson Fund and the Paul and Jane Meyer

Family Foundation. HELPINGS will
continue to provide assistance with
the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance
Program (SNAP, formerly the Food
Stamp program) enrollment process to
people who come to Caritas—as well as
helping clients with other state and federal assistance program applications.
But the program will also be
broadening its outreach into the community to offer education regarding
SNAP and other programs that would
be beneficial to people.
Caritas also recently began offering educational classes in subjects like
nutritional eating and money management, and is looking for opportunities
to expand such offerings.
These combined efforts mark an
important step by Caritas to make true
inroads in the lives of people in need
and to help point the way to a life that
doesn’t have to rely on service agencies
or emergency assistance just to keep
their heads above water.
We’re excited about these and other developments that will more fully
demonstrate that Caritas is much more
than a food pantry.

banter and observations about the event. In addition, a
silent and audible auction will take place with a number
of interesting and eye-catching items.
All of this is being done to bring in funds to support
the emergency services of Caritas of Waco. In fact, this
is the biggest fundraiser the organization has during the
year--but it also is an opportunity to learn something
about Caritas and come to a greater understanding of
its role in the community.
This year, tickets for the Feast are $25 per person and
may be obtained on the Caritas website at www.caritaswaco.org, or by calling Carolyn Hurst at 254-715-9021.
Caritas Board members are also selling tickets.
So mark your calendar for Tuesday, April 8th at 6
p.m. in the Waco Convention Center’s Brazos Room,
and be ready to spend an enjoyable evening tasting
soup, while giving back to our community through your
support of Caritas. n
Volunteer
Corner
Volunteers Needed in
Pantry and Thrift Stores
Volunteers are the heartbeat of
Caritas. We wouldn’t be able to do
anything without them!
This spring, we will need help getting
ready for the Feast of Caring on
April 8.
We also especially need people who
will sign up to work on a regular
schedule—perhaps once a week.
The most crucial areas are the
Food Pantry (located in the Caritas
headquarters at 300 S. 15th) or in
the Thrift Stores (located at 3016
Bellmead Drive and 3116 Franklin).
Please feel free to call me at 254-7534593 and sign up! You can also sign
up on our website: www.caritaswaco.org. You will love volunteering
at Caritas, and you will be making a
big difference for our neighbors in
need.

Spring Drives to Benefit Local Food Pantries
Letter Carriers Food Drive Set for May 10
‘Stamp out Hunger’ Largest Drive in US
A
s part of the 22nd annual “Stamp Out Hunger” food drive, letter carriers in McLennan County will join forces with the National Association of Letter Carriers on Saturday, May 10, for the
largest one-day food drive in the nation. The drive assists millions
of families in the United States who are struggling to put food on
their tables every day.
In the Waco-McLennan County area, letter carriers will collect
non-perishable food donations to help people served by Caritas of
Waco, the Salvation Army and Shepherd’s Heart Food Pantry.
To participate in the “Stamp Out Hunger” Food Drive, households will be encouraged to donate non-perishable food items—
such as canned vegetables, canned meats, pasta, rice and cereal—
next to their mailbox prior to their regular mail delivery time on
May 10. In order to facilitate the
donation, H-E-B will provide paper
sacks that letter carriers will leave beside mailboxes. Participants will use
these sacks for their donated items.
Letter carriers will gather the
food donations as they deliver the
mail on May 10 and will provide
them to Caritas, the Salvation Army
and Shepherd’s Heart Food Pantry
for distribution to people in need. n
‘Spring Onto Summer Drive’ to Help
Children Through the Summer
T
he fourth annual Spring Onto Summer (SOS) Food
Drive—to be held on Saturday, April 12th, will be supported again this year by all three Walmart Super Centers,
Sam’s Club, IGA in Hewitt and the Brookshire Food Stores
in Lorena and Robinson. Customers of Walmart, Sam’s Club
and Brookshires will be encouraged to purchase food on
April 12 and donate it to the drive as they leave the store.
Proceeds will be shared among Caritas, Shepherd’s
Heart Pantry, Salvation Army and the Lake Shore Baptist
Church pantry. Last year’s drive netted some 30,000 pounds
of food, far exceeding what had been contributed in the last
two years.
This effort is billed as “children feeding children” because of the emphasis on securing food to help feed children
during the summer.
Many children are home during the summer and not
able to participate in the summer meal programs that are
offered by schools and other non-profit organizations. Each
summer, food pantries face a daunting task in meeting the
needs of families with children, and the SOS drive helps to
build supplies of food that will be needed long before the
next school year starts.
For more information about how you can donate in the
drive, contact Buddy Edwards at 254-753-4593. n
The Caritas Spirit of Giving

2013 Food for Families Food Drive
Helps Area Pantries
T
he 2013 Food for Families food drive—sponsored by
KWTX-TV, H-E-B, the Boys Scouts of America and the
Texas National Guard—proved to be highly successful and a
distinct improvement over the previous year, even with inclement weather on that November day.
A total of 384,409 pounds of food were collected (compared to 334,187 pounds donated in 2012) and was shared
among Caritas, Shepherd’s Heart Pantry, Church of the Open
Door, Salvation Army, Lake Shore Baptist Church, St. Francis
Social Ministry and Hands of Mercy.
The event would not have been possible without the support of the major sponsors, as well as area H-E-B, Walmart,
Sam’s Club, and Brookshire’s food stores. But the real heroes are
the hundreds of volunteers who, among other things, collected
and donated food, stood in the cold at local participating food
stores to hand out information about the drive, and worked at
KWTX and Caritas to help receive and sort food as it was delivered.
Those organizations who participated in the “Chairman’s
Cup” Competition, challenging each other as to who could
bring in the most food, were crucial in achieving success for
Food for Families. We thank all of the folks who gave of their
time and energy in this most important endeavor.

Beaumont Grant
Continues to
Provide Fresh
Produce to
Caritas Clients
aritas is most appreciative again to the
Beaumont Foundation for awarding the
C
agency a $50,000 grant for 2014, to assist in
purchasing items of fresh produce for clients
receiving food. Over the last seven years, the
Foundation has generously supported this
important effort, which has allowed Caritas
to offer a wider array of nutritional food to
clients.
“Fresh fruits and vegetables are an
important source of nutrition, and the
Beaumont Foundation grant is once again
enabling us to bring these foods to the people
we serve,” said Buddy Edwards, Executive
Director of Caritas.
Caritas has conducted surveys with
clients to determine their opinions about the
importance of the food items they receive.
Fresh produce is consistently rated as being
very important to the client families.
In addition to produce acquired through
the Beaumont Foundation grant, Caritas
also welcomes donations of produce from
individuals’ gardens and from local grocery
stores. The Walmart grocery store in Hewitt
has regularly donated produce, and these
items have greatly supplemented other
food sources. For more

Norlie at 254753-4593.

Caritas Begins New
Case-Management
Program
I
n the fall of 2013, Caritas received a $32,249 grant from the
Rapoport Foundation that has allowed the agency to start a new
program in case management. The program offers Caritas clients
an opportunity to more fully address difficulties and problems
in their lives that prevent them from becoming more independent—ultimately, the hope is for such families to experience a
declining need for emergency services.
“Families coming to Caritas always speak with one of our
Interviewers who process their requests for assistance, but we
have not been conducting a thorough assessment of the family’s
needs and helping them chart a path for addressing their core
concerns,” said Buddy Edwards, Executive Director of Caritas.
“Thanks to the Rapoport Foundation’s grant, Caritas has started
this new program area. We hope it will result in more people being lifted from hunger and poverty,” Edwards added.
Tammy G. Stevens assumed the Case Manager position last
December and has worked diligently to develop program policies
and procedures. Stevens has a strong background in case management—including a 15-year stint as case manager coordinator
with Economic Opportunities Advancement Corporation.
Stevens said she has already seen clients achieve personal
goals through the case-management effort and is optimistic
about the future of this new undertaking.
Caritas Welcomes New
Board Officers for 2014
W
ith the start of 2014, the Caritas Board of Directors is under the leadership of new officers. Susan Silver joined the
board in 2010, and recently became President of the Board, after
having served as board Secretary since 2012. Rose Goertz, who
became a board member in 2012, is filling the position of Vice
President; and Larry Dagley, who also joined the board in 2012,
is the new board Treasurer. Tom Newsom is the board Secretary.
Each officer has a strong interest in Caritas and will bring
valuable knowledge and experience to the governance of the Caritas Board.
New members to the board for 2014 include Connie Jefferson, Milet Hopping, Katrina Dorris, Rhonda Robinson, Connie
Berry, Mackie Bonner and Trey Miller. They join Betty Bauer,
Emily Buck, Bill Carden, Steve Fontaine, Tom Newsom, Marcia
Olmsted, Rev. Charlie Packard, and Ben Dever (Immediate Past
President).
Caritas has a 17-member board of directors, with each member being elected to a three-year term. The board meets monthly,
but board members also actively participate on several committees that help to carry out the work of Caritas.

Clean Out Your Closets—
and Give the Extra Stuff to
Caritas.
I
t’s spring-cleaning time, and no doubt you have been actively engaged in this annual ritual in your home, office
or business! In this process, you probably have come across
many wonderful items that you have absolutely no need
for, and, in fact, cannot recall the slightest reason you might
have had for acquiring them.
You may be in a quandary about how to dispose of
them. You could have a garage sale, but that’s way too much
trouble. You could re-gift your Aunt Mary and Uncle Joe,
but that can only lead to embarrassment.
Never fear! Caritas is here to relieve you of your nagging worry, dread and sleepless nights spent dealing with
this perplexing problem.
You can donate to Caritas the items that you no longer
need, but that are still useable. Items can be dropped off at
the Caritas Thrift Stores at 3116 Franklin or 3016 Bellmead
Drive during their regular operational hours. If you have so
much stuff you need a pick-up, you can call the main Caritas office at 753-4593 to arrange a convenient time for one of
our friendly drivers to stop by and carry off your unwanted
items. Thank you for your help!
Caritas uses the thrift stores as a low-cost shopping
venue for people on low or fixed incomes, but the stores also
provide large amounts of clothing without charge to people
in need. All items in the stores are donated—so your support is critical to the operations of the stores and our ability
to serve people.
Caritas also invites everyone in the community to
shop in the thrift stores. All profits from the stores go back
into Caritas programs to assist people in need. So, whether
you are donating household items and clothing, or whether
you are shopping, you are helping your neighbors in need.
