PROGRAMS
Loaves and Fishes Pantry
The Loaves and Fishes Pantry is a non-denominational, non-sectarian
food bank that supplies food to those in need to an area roughly encompassing the Ridley and Interboro school districts in
Delaware County, PA.
Their "wish list" includes the following:
- 1 pound boxes of spaghetti
- canned spam
- canned tuna
- personal deodorant
- toilet paper
Please bring the items you wish to donate with you
to the next meeting.
Blankets of Love
These are hand-made Bereavement Blankets donated to the Children's
Hospital of Philadelphia. (CHOP)
Mickey Straube is coordinating the baby blankets.
CHOP requested that the blankets be in two sizes:
Preemies
24 x 24
Full term babies 36 x 36
Please use baby yarn and either a F or G needle.
Trinity also will provide the yarn for those interested in the
project.
The young lady who started this project is a student at
Upper Darby High School and is working on her Gold Award Project in scouting.

Hibernian Hunger Project
The Hibernian Hunger Project is a nationwide community service program that feeds thousands of needy people through
a series of events that run throughout the year. The Project was conceived by Bob Gessler, Philadelphia County Board &
AOH Division 87 President in 1999. In March 2000 the very first H.H.P. Cook-In was held by the Philadelphia Ancient Order
of Hibernians (A.O.H.) and Ladies Ancient Order of Hibernians (L.A.O.H.) in remembrance of the more than one million Irish
people who died of starvation and related diseases during the Great Irish Famine.
In 2003 the program went “national,” and similar Hibernian efforts to feed the less fortunate took place
across the country to coincide with the St. Patrick’s Day weekend.
Kehoes
Klothes
Members of
Black Jack Kehoe are collecting any wearable clothing, adult, children and infant clothing. Please bring them to any meeting
