In Belize Sisters feed homeless during pandemic
14 Comments(s)
As the economy continues to worsen for the people of Belize during the COVID-19 pandemic, Sisters missioned in Belize City have sprung into action. The suffering for the homeless population there has worsened due to their donation-seeking not being as fruitful. The Sisters of Charity of Nazareth at SCN Center Belize set out to assist the homeless population in the downtown area with a plate of food, a dessert, and a drink. The food and drinks were prepared, packaged, and then made ready for delivery by the Sisters and friends.
"Special thanks goes to my mom, Gloria Codd for making the yellow carrot rice and the SCN Associates who agreed to donate the desserts monthly," said Sister Carlette.
This month, Marilyn Garvin donated jam rolls for a sweet addition to the meal. Those who received it were very thankful and grateful for a nutritious meal. The Sisters are hoping to do this monthly on an ongoing basis.

I visited the Sisters in 2015 in the beginning of the LIFE Program. The Sisters do great work in Belize. Kudos to Sister Carlette and all the Sisters in Belize.

The pictures from India and Belize let's us know that the
needs will always be there whenever there are people in
need. Catherine would be proud of you and all the others
who continue to share what we have been given. Know
that my prayers will come each day for you. Dot Jackson

Excellent work – pivoting from your already crucial work to a task even more needed during these pandemic times.

The mangos are slowly ripening! Only one or two a day. We need rain to help them mature!

I was hungry, and you gave me food….your gesture of mercy will surely be rewarded. God bless you.

Your account not only brings back memories, but speaks so clearly of your meeting the needs of the time. This is truly charity in action. Continued thanks to Mommy for her always being there to assist, and to our SCNAs.

Wow, so glad to see what you are all doing for the people who need it. It brings back memories.
Sending much love!! Wish I could make some mango bread. The mangoes are probably not ready yet, are they?
