*Pax Christi Justice Grant Recipient for 2008 in the amount of $8,000
(Pax Christi Catholic Community has contributed money and volunteers for years.  Recognizing that this is a program that is most needed for the senior citizens and disabled in our local community, we will continue to support their efforts.)


What is Meals on Wheels?
They provide nutrition, safety checks and allow for independent living.  We lead the effort to make sure people in our community receive the nutritious meals and the human connection they need to help them live.  Over 600 volunteers deliver 4,000 meals each weekday and our need for volunteers is growing every day due to the aging baby-boomers, declining healthcare coverage and receding government funding.

To Volunteer at Meals on Wheels:
 
• Send an email to justice@paxchristi.com and someone will contact you.

• For other Pax Christi Social Justice volunteer opportunities, follow the link: www.paxchristi.com/justicevolunteerops.aspx to see current opportunities available, or check the bulletin board at the back of the church.

• Join an e-mail group of like-minded Social Justice Pax Christi members so you will receive periodic e-mails regarding upcoming Justice related events and volunteer opportunities.  We hope everyone will get involved and feel the satisfaction of helping another with a hand-up, not a hand-out.  To join, e-mail justice@paxchristi.com, indicate interest in joining the e-mail group, and provide the e-mail address you'd like added to the group list.

• For alternative volunteer opportunities, contact Mary Kennedy, Director of Stewardship, 952-405-7220, or mkennedy@paxchristi.com. 



*What is a Justice Grant Recipient?    Since Pax Christi Catholic Community was founded just over 25 years ago, the community has set aside a portion of its weekly Sunday collection, which now stands at 10%. These funds support works of mercy and justice in the wider Minneapolis/St. Paul metropolitan area and beyond.  The majority of the Justice Tithe is distributed through the Pax Christi Justice Grants Program.  $2 million in grants have been made to nonprofit organizations since 1995. All Justice Grants are made for purposes that reflect Roman Catholic social teaching and moral standards.
