This holiday season, Catholic Charities of Corpus Christi and the Mother Teresa Shelter invite the community to give the gift that blesses others less fortunate.
Through Dec. 31, 2014, with each donation of $10 or more to the Mother Teresa Shelter, a beautiful angel Christmas card will be mailed to the donor’s honorees to notify them of the tribute (without specifying the gift amount). For gifts of $25 or more per Christmas card, a keepsake Christmas tree ornament will also be included.
The Mother Teresa Shelter, located at 513 Sam Rankin St. in Corpus Christi, is the area’s only day comprehensive shelter for the homeless. Each gift to the Mother Teresa Shelter helps clients come for a place to eat, rest, clean up and care for their families. The shelter provides breakfast, snacks, laundry and shower facilities, job counseling, mental health services, medication supervision, communication with family and friends, productive outdoor pastimes and therapeutic activities to more than 200 people each day. Clients are treated with respect and dignity.
“With donations like yours, we have been given the blessing of adding much needed improvements to our home that will help the clients of this shelter for years to come,” Mother Teresa Shelter Executive Director Sister Rose Paul Madassery, SABS said.
