CHRISTMAS CARD PROJECT HELPS TO FEED THE HUNGRY


The Archdiocese of Philadelphia Office of Nutritional Development Services is sponsoring the Alternative Christmas Card Project for the 19th year in a row. All proceeds from the sale of the cards are used to purchase food to stock area soup kitchens and food cupboards. The annual project provides an excellent alternative to people who wish to avoid the commercialism of the Christmas season and prefer to focus on the true meaning of the holy day.

For the 2000 Christmas season, cards are available in a ten card variety pack for $15.00 or in a 20 card variety pack for $25.00. Custom orders are also possible.

There are five different designs available this year, including The Christmas Tree, The Tree Trimming Angel, The Christmas Lamb, Angel of Bounty and the Littlest Angel. All cards are 5"x7" and are printed on high quality paper stock. Each card explains that the greeting represents a donation made to help feed the hungry.

For more information or to order cards, please call Nutritional Development Services at:
