Catholic Charities of Corpus Christi, Inc. will be having their third annual 40 Cans For Lent 2023 Food Drive on Feb. 22 – April 9 (Ash Wednesday – Easter). All donations will benefit the local and rural food pantries of Catholic Charities and Mother Teresa Shelter. We are accepting canned and dry goods, non-perishables, and monetary donations. We can always use canned meats, peanut butter, rice, beans, pasta, fruit & vegetables, and canned or powdered milk.
As many people struggle with chronic diseases, we hope people will consider donating healthy alternatives such as low-fat, low-sugar, low-sodium, and diabetic friendly items.
Catholic Charities has food bins that can be picked up at our office starting Feb. 6. For bins call the office at (361) 884-0651, ext. 240 or email [email protected] to pick up and drop off the food bins.
