SUMMARY:First Sunday Collection – Sister Water Project
DESCRIPTION:Our First Sunday collection recipient for December is Sister Water Project\, which was started 18 years ago by the Sisters of St. Francis in Dubuque. It helps supply safe water to people of Tanzania and Honduras. Sister Water Project has built more than 450 wells in Tanzania and more than 45 water systems in Honduras. All work is done by volunteers from the villages. The sisters do not charge for administration\, so 100% of donations are designated for the projects. First Sunday donations will be used to build a well in Tanzania. The cost of a well is $5\,500. Wouldn’t it be grand to have a well in Tanzania with “DMIEC” written on it? \nFor more information\, visit  https://osfdbq.org/sisterwaterproject/\nWrite checks either to “Sisters of St Francis” or to “DMIEC” with “First Sunday” in the memo line. \nWrite checks either to “Sisters of St. Francis” or “DMIEC” with “First Sunday” in the memo line.   \nCHECKS SHOULD BE PLACED IN THE December 8th COLLECTION BASKET OR MAILED TO : DMIEC\, P.O. Box 30065\, Des Moines\, IA 50310 \nFirst Sunday checks must be received by DMIEC by December 20th; if you elect to contribute to the First Sunday recipient after that date\, please mail your check (made payable to the recipient with “DMIEC” in the memo line) directly to Sisters of St. Francis\, c/o Sister Water Project\, 3390 Windsor Avenue\, Dubuque\, IA 52001-1311\, and\, if comfortable\, let DMIEC’s Social Justice Committee Chair Kathy Eastman know the amount to assist in recording our community’s giving.  If you have questions about how to donate or would like to donate using the ACH withdrawal feature\, please contact Susan Barnes (checks) or Jeanine Freeman (ACH) of the Finance Committee.

SUMMARY:Christmas Eve Special Collection for Catholic Worker House
DESCRIPTION:Our traditional Christmas Eve collection will be for the Des Moines Catholic Worker House again thisyear. The collection will help fund remodeling of the Dingman House bathroom. This is the bathroom that guests use and where they can take showers.  In a kitchen sized for a single family\, the staff and volunteers prepare roughly 600-750 pounds of hot food each week. The guests also have access to canned and packaged food\, blankets\, clothing\, and personal hygiene items. \nChecks can be written either to “DMIEC” with “Dingman House bathroom” in the memo line or to “Catholic Worker House Fund” with “Dingman House bathroom” in the memo line. The Catholic Worker House Fund is a 501(c)(3) foundation. If you are not attending the Christmas Eve Service\, please mail checks to DMIEC\, PO Box 30065\, Des Moines\, Iowa 50310. We would prefer that all checks be mailed to DMIEC. If you mail your check directly to the organization\, please inform Susan Barnes of the amount\, if you feel comfortable\, so the Social Justice Committee can get an accurate count of donations.
