Rotary Club of Newark, CATHOLIC CHARITIES & Food $en$e! (Made some minor changes)
Save money!!! Food Sense is a way for your family to stretch your food budget by purchasing quality food at a discount! You don’t have to reside in Newark to participate. Donated food is not used in this program as it’s a buying club. There are no income requirements or quantity limits. The cost per unit is $15.50 and this includes 12 food items including fruits & vegetables, meats and grocery staples. There are “Monthly Specials” offered for an additional cost. If you are unable to pickup food due to age or disability, Newark Rotary may deliver to people that have a need for this service. Please call to determine eligibility.
Orders can be placed at Catholic Charities, 1141 East Union Street, Newark, Monday-Friday from 9:00 a.m.-3:00 p.m., and by noon sharp on the designated order deadline date. Cash, Money Orders, and Food Benefit Cards are accepted. Food orders will be distributed on a designated Thursday at the Cornell Cooperative Extension, Rte. 88 North, Newark between 3:00-5:30p.m. The distribution site cannot hold any food packages after the scheduled pick-up date/time. Food not picked up will be considered a donation to a food pantry. There are no refunds or returns.

PILGRIM PROJECT: SALE OF CD
Now you can hear some great music and support Catholic Charities all at the same time! Catholic Charities of Wayne County is offering for sale a CD of wonderful, spiritual music. The proceeds from the sale of the CD, entitled The Pilgrim, will benefit our food and clothing programs and La Casa, a residence for migrant farmworkers.
The Pilgrim, by Nancy Bryan, is a mixture of familiar hymns and original songs performed by Nancy and arranged by John Bryan. Nancy and John are an integral part of the choir at St. John the Evangelist Church in Clyde, New York. Nancy is a Grammy-nominated vocalist/songwriter who has written and recorded songs for Walt Disney Records. She also recorded two albums which were distributed internationally by Sire/Warner Brothers Records. John is a studio guitarist and pianist who accompanies Nancy and arranged the songs for The Pilgrim.
This CD is dedicated in part to Sister M. Dominica Petocchi, RSM, who taught in the Diocese of Rochester for 57 years. Her photo is on the CD cover. People frequently brought Sr. Dominica their prayer intentions, because she was widely known for having a “direct line” upstairs. She died in 2008 after a long life of service to others.
Three years ago, the Bryans produced a CD which was marketed to raise funds for the Payatas community in the Philippines, a community living in extreme poverty who utilized the proceeds from the Bryans’ recording to obtain clean drinking water.
To obtain a copy of The Pilgrim, please come by our office or mail your order to us at the address below. If you are willing to help sell the CD in your community, please let us know. For each copy of the CD, we suggest a donation of at least $10. Orders for the CD and donations for supporting The Pilgrim Project can be directed to:
