A SPECIAL THANKSSTAR & CROSS CLUB

At this time of year we give thanks for our many blessings. Special thanks goes out to the members of the Catholic Health

Services Star & Cross Club. CHS employees join this club by contributing to a fund designated for helping other

CHS employees. Star & Cross Club members’ contributions are turned into grants for CHS employees who are faced with

unavoidable emergency situations and have no other place to turn. Qualifying emergency needs might be for housing,

utilities, food, clothing, catastrophic automobile repairs, illness, injury, homelessness, or a death in the family.

Between January 1, 2014 and October 30, 2014 Star and Cross has provided $25,495.00 to employees who

have applied to the Star & Cross Club for a grant.

For their role in living the CHS Mission and helping colleagues in times of hardship and need,

There is hardly a more meaningful way of celebrating the CHS Missionthan to volunteer to help those in need. The management staff at St.Anne’s Nursing Center and Residence did just that. For a full week di-rectors and managers spent over 7 hours each day prepping, cooking,serving food and cleaning up at the local Homestead Soup Kitchen.

"We are so grateful for the opportunity to provide a comforting and nutritious meal to the needy in our neighborhood. It is our pleasure to serve," says Rosemarie Bailey, executive director of CHS South Campus.

The mission of the Homestead Soup Kitchen is to serve those members of their community inneed of a hot meal, regardless of circumstances. By having a “no questions asked” policy, theSoup Kitchen provided more than 700 meals weekly to individuals and families of the GreaterHomestead/Florida City area and beyond. “One reason the Soup Kitchen is successful in feedingso many with so little, is because of the many dedicated volunteers. These volunteers help cook,prepare and serve the food and include local churches, civic organizations, as well as individuals,”shared a spokesperson at the soup kitchen.
