ADVENT EXAMINATIONS OF CONSCIENCE

Advent Reconcilation Services

Dear Garden Project Volunteers and Supporters,

You have been such a great help and a blessing to others as we work to feed the hungry. Many, many, thanks to you. Your support and contributions have helped feed many hungry brothers & sisters in the third world.

So far in 2022, $8,100 dollars have been raised, with 4x matching funds, we have provided $40,500.00 for international food aid to hungry mouths in Ethiopia and Somalia . All our money raised goes to Development & Peace account at Canada Foodgrains Bank, with food aid distribution this year by Catholic Relief Services and Caritas.

In 10 years we have raised $428,125.00 in food aid that have gone to the hungry and poor in third world Africa , Middle East and South America. Over 33,000 lbs of excess garden production has been delivered to Winnipeg Harvest & local soup kitchens.

Very few of us have had to live in hunger & poorness, squalor, conflict/ war; to struggle to simply exist. We are called to share our blessings with the poor. Please be an active participant in our SAINTS FAITH GARDEN Project and help others. We also welcome any food donations to our Foodbank bin to help our local hungry & needy brothers & sisters.

If you wish to donate, cheques should be made payable to Canada Foodgrains Bank and memo for Saints Faith Garden Project. Your donation with cheques made out as above, would add to our Saints Faith garden project revenue and eligible for 4X matching funds for international food aid and distributed to the third world hungry by Catholic Relief organizations.

Cheques can be mailed to Canada Foodgrains Bank, 400-393 Portage Ave., PO Box 767, Winnipeg, Mb. R3C2L4, or give your cheque in an envelope to Steve Gadient.

Income tax receipts will be issued by Canada Foodgrains Bank on donations over $15.

We look forward to your continuing help and support +++++++++++++ and prayers.

May God Continue to Bless us.
