This holiday season, the Mother Teresa Shelter and Catholic Charities invite the community to give the gift that blesses others less fortunate. Until Dec. 31, with each donation of $10 or more to the Mother Teresa Shelter, a handmade 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.
New this year are Christmas cards handmade by Sister Katharine Westrick. Each card is designed with a Christmas star.
The Mother Teresa Shelter, located at 513 Sam Rankin St., Corpus Christi, is our 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 and outdoor, productive pastimes and therapeutic activities to more than 200 people each day.
This is a unique way to Christmas shop and to help the homeless in the community at the same time. For more information, call (361) 883-7372, email
