Feast of Caring is SOLD OUT!! Thank you for your support.
It's time again for Caritas' annual Feast of Caring. This is the principal fundraiser for Caritas. This year's event will be held Tuesday, February 26, 2013 starting at 6 p.m. at the MCC Conference Center located at 4601 N. 19th Street.
This year's event will have a new twist. This will be the first annual "Soup Cook Off" and will feature hot, tasty soup from ten of Waco's leading restaurants. Soup has always been a symbol to Caritas of food that needy families have relied upon for basic sustenance, and that traditional symbolism continues this year as we remember those who are less fortunate.
With the addition of the "Soup Cook Off," the Feast of Caring will offer an enjoyable evening of sampling soup (and voting for your favorite) but also learning more about the work of Caritas. Plus there will be musical entertainment by the "Horton Duo" and an exciting silent auction!
Even though this year's event is now sold out, if you would otherwise like to make a contribution to the Feast of Caring, please use the "Donate Now" button on this page for that as well. Your donation goes a long way in helping Caritas continue its services to people in need in our community.
Thank you for your purchase and support and if you have any questions, please call 254-753-4593. |

The new Caritas Thrift Store located at 3116-3118 Franklin Avenue is off to a good start since its opening on November 8, 2011. The store hours for this location is Monday through Saturday from 10 am to 6 pm. Donations are also accepted Monday through Saturday from 10 am to 5 pm. During the winter months the store hours will be 9 am to 5 pm, Monday thru Saturday.
The Caritas Thrift Store located at 3016 Bellmead Drive is now open 7 days a week from 9 am to 5 pm. This store has had a new exterior facelift, so please come by and see us.
Both of these Thrift Stores depend heavily upon donations from the public. Items that you no longer need but that are still in good repair and in good working order may be donated at either of the store locations, at our Administrative office at 300 S.15th St., or by calling 753-4593 for a scheduled free pickup.
At either location, the public can continue to donate 4 or more canned goods for a voucher to receive up to $4.00 worth of clothing free.
Both locations are now capable of accepting debit cards and/or credit cards for ease of shopping
