ARCHDIOCESE OF PHILADELPHIA

The Archdiocese of Philadelphia Office of Nutritional Development Services has a new design for its annual Christmas card project. The Gift of Peace is printed in royal blue ink on cream card stock with little angels on the cover. On the inside, there is a Nativity scene with the words, "May the Christ Child bring us together in peace."

This is the 20th anniversary of the Alternative Christmas Card Project. All proceeds from the sale of the cards are used to purchase food to stock area soup kitchens and food cupboards. The annual project provides an alternative to people who wish to avoid the commercialism of the Christmas season and prefer to focus on the true meaning of the holy day.

Cards are available in the new design, The Gift of Peace, or in one of the designs from past years: The Christmas Tree, The Tree Trimming Angel, The Christmas Lamb, Angel of Bounty and The Littlest Angel. All cards are 5"x7" and are printed on high quality paper stock. Cards are sold in packs of ten cards for $15.00 or packs of 20 cards for $25.00. Each card explains that the greeting represents a donation made to help feed the hungry.
