Katy’s dispatch to the World Journal (世界日報) reporting the charity work of Tzu-Chi (慈濟) was published today (Dec. 14). Coordinating the event with Mercy Behavioral Health, Tzu-Chi distributed the stuff to the needy in the Wellspring Drop In Center locating in Pittsburgh downtown area. (click the photo to enlarge it)
The stuff distributed include blanket, rain-proof coat, scarf, glove, stock, cap, tooth paste and brush, etc.; everything that warms the bodies and hearts. 李大立 and 陳濟禧 showed a movie that tells the story of how the environmentally orientated blankets and coats are made. This annual event fully demonstrates the benevolent and altruistic spirit of the Tzu-Chi Foundation, benefiting the less fortunate and less privileged.
The unselfish enthusiasm of many Tzu-Chi members/volunteers (杜慈恭、陳靈芬、葉英妹、劉麗珠、張寶珍、鄭惠如、顏素玲、鄭國智) command our respect and appreciation.

去年冬令救濟發放了50份,所以今年按往例也準備了50份,但是有些人因故未出現,餘下數份交給慈恩行為健康的負責人朱迪‧歐文(Judy Irvin),讓她日後再發放給遊民。馬克布來德 (Bill McBride) 說,他15年來負責到市區尋找流浪街頭的無家可歸者,多數為男性,帶他們到「善泉」幫忙他們,例如利用善泉郵址信箱,讓他們每月可收到政府205元的救濟金;每周五天供應免費午餐;提供洗澡洗衣;安排他們就醫與免費住宿兩個月。
