Rice Bowl Grants Announced

Each year during Lent, OLG and many other parishes in the Archdiocese of Seattle participate in Catholic Relief Services’ Rice Bowl program.  75% of the funds donated in the Archdiocese go overseas for international hunger relief programs, while 25% stay in the area to help with local hunger prevention efforts.  This year, we are happy to announce that OLG received two grants: one for $1000 to help with our new Peace Garden and one for $500 to help with our Community Meal program.  The Peace Garden will produce fresh fruits and vegetables that will go to local food banks, while the Community Meal provides a free, hot meal to community members 10 times a year.  It is wonderful to see the fruits of your generosity.  Thank you!
