conference, there were tables for various organizations set up around the conference room- one was for a little
school in Anchorage. The woman at the table asked me if I shopped at Dominicks and if so, would I register my
frequent shopper card to help support their school. I said, "Why not?" It took about 2 minutes to register. I never
thought about it again until seven months later when I got a card from the woman thanking me for my support which
she said really made a difference. I had forgotten all about the program.... It was painless for me, yet meant so much
to them.
I was just one person, but even if the contribution from my purchases was only $100 per year, if we could get 100
people to sign up, that could make up to $100,000 a year for Fr. Bob - direct deposits to the Mission account with
no worry to him. He would be able to focus on doing God's work.
At the September 6 Mobile Food Pantry, we introduced the program to the volunteers and neighbors who live in
Humboldt Park. The neighbors were the first to sign up! They were so excited to participate in building the
Mission. That is the beauty of the program. Everyone can participate- no matter how little or how much they spend.
Relatives across country can help and watch the progress on this web site. It all adds up. It all counts. Those who
didn't bring their Dominick's card with them, said they would bring it next month. Volunteers took information and sign
up sheets back to their parishes to sign people up. We already have 21 supporters signed up just from that one
day with no advance notice to anyone. We are enthusiastically on our way.

| This page will be dedicated to finding creative and painless ways to help Fr. Bob fund the ongoing operations of the Mission so he can focus on what he does best - feed his sheep and tend his flock. |
| think creatively, listen and watch for opportunities. There is so much we do not do simply because we think we cannot. Please remember that with God, all things are possible. because we know that it is not only the people who live in Humboldt Park who are feeling the negative effects of a slow economy. Many people who love the Mission, Fr. Bob and helping others are also hurting. We want everyone to be able to participate in building this Mission - even those we serve in Humboldt Park. We have heard others say, "Give until it hurts." We don't want anyone to hurt. We say, "Don't give until it hurts, give until you love it!" WE INVITE YOU To share your ideas for other projects with Fr. Bob. We have two more very exciting projects on the drawing board. So please check back often! |

supporter! Thank you Paul in Virginia! Thanks to everyone from Fr. Bob for your support. 9/17: A major Chicago law firm put this notice in its firm newsletter this week and sent it to all of their employees! If you feel like doing something similar at your company, they probably would not object if you borrow some verbiage. (Thanks a lot!) We won't keep posting this stuff, but we thought this was cool, and we just enjoy sharing the good news with you! |
