NDS Community Food Program says good-bye to two of our dearest friends this summer. Sister Marita Jean and Sister Rita Martin are ending their time at the St Francis de Sales Parish Food Cupboard in Southwest Philadelphia. The cupboard closed its doors on July 31st. The sisters first started out at Most Blessed Sacrament Parish and then moved to a storefront on Chester Avenue that was supported by St. Francis de Sales Parish and Father John Hand. The sisters will be missed by all of us who have come to know and love them, especially all their friends on Chester Avenue. A special thanks to Tom and Unc who have helped support the food cupboard for many years as volunteers. We wish Sister Marita Jean many years of good health as she retires to Camilla Hall and to Sister Rita as she begins her new ministry at St. Gabriel Parish Food Cupboard in South Philadelphia. Thank you Sisters for your friendship and hard work! You will be missed!
