Our Lady of Las Palomas Interfaith Center

Our Lady of Las Palomas Interfaith Center is initiating a sustainable Hunger Project with the ladies of Mexico who participate in La Cooperativa de la Frontera.  For nearly eight years the ladies of La Cooperativa have been earning money to support their children and families one crocheted hat at a time; one rag basket at a time; one sewn purse at a time.  It’s time for a new paradigm.  The ideas for “Pay it Forward” and “Radical Generosity” and “Blessing” are swirling through and around our Churches and Board Rooms as a moral response to our poorest countries and most oppressed peoples.  We propose The Blessing Box as our answer to justice and sustainability.  It’s simple:

1.    Receive a Blessing Box with a variety of crafts as a “Thank You” from the ladies of La Cooperativa.  You’ll find the value far exceeds the $300.

2.    Pass these Blessings along by gifting others: neighbors, friends, grandchildren, office mates, and even complete strangers.

3.    Reach deep and donate fabrics, yarn, jeans, animal feed bags, sewing machines; any scrap that can be repurposed into an Object of Beauty.

4.    Reach deeper and donate Funds to Our Lady via check, money order or our PayPal account.  You will receive a tax donation receipt for your Radical Generosity.

5.    Smaller donations are very welcome, and will be used for the project you designate: Hunger, Cooperativa, Compassion House (building maintenance including water, and electricity).  This is an all volunteer organization with 100% of your donations going to sustain this work.
