| Volunteers busy preparing care packages |
Despite the freezing temperature and threat of snow, a dozen volunteers showed up for Tuesday’s Lenten Supply Drive for the Order of Malta’s monthly Bowery Walk at the Basilica of St. Patrick’s Old Cathedral parish house (263 Mulberry Street) in Nolita, New York, ready to work and bearing much-needed donations. Normally meeting every third Tuesday of the month, in the charitable spirit of Lent, the group got together an extra day to help replenish their dwindling stores and distribute care packages to the homeless before the forecasted storm.
Though temporarily restocked, supplies do go fast; so any additional aid that can be given will be greatly appreciated. Your contributions enable the Order to help more people in need.
