Co-member Barbara Hagan is chair of the Loretto Hunger Fund. Last year, in the footsteps of her former Hunger Fund mentor, Loretto Sister Francis Jane O’Toole, she asked the Community to take an empty jar and collect change for 30 days. It could be change from people’s pockets, from the laundry, found when you clean house, from the seats of your car, etc. She called the challenge “Pennies From Heaven.” From this fundraising effort she raised $1,012 for the Hunger Fund solely by asking folks to donate spare change!
