Earlier this year, when the federal government began to send stimulus checks to individuals and families around the country, the Sisters of Charity of the Blessed Virgin Mary (BVM) in Dubuque, Iowa didn’t keep the money for themselves.
Instead, they pooled their stimulus checks and with generous benefactor contributions donated their money to 120 organizations – mainly food banks and pantries – working to alleviate hunger in the United States and abroad. Donations totaled just over $165,000 and went to organizations in 21 states, Ecuador, and Ghana.
Sister Teri Hadro, president of the Congregation of the Sisters of Charity, BVM, said that because of good stewardship and planning, and generous benefactors, the religious orders’ current basic needs are met. That allowed space for the BVM Sisters and Associates to pool their stimulus checks together and make the donations.
