From Our CEO... So let's talk aspirations: I want a world where no child has to squint in the back of the classroom for lack of a pair of glasses that their parents cannot afford. I want a world where a child suffocated by asthma has access to an inhaler. I want a world where a family doesn't have to choose between rent and groceries. I want a world where maintaining one's health doesn't feel impossible.
And I hope that beyond the mending of broken bones, and sometimes broken hearts, beyond providing the medications, hot meals, hats & gloves, and counseling. I hope that we have helped children and families feel loved, cared for, and spiritually connected. -Joe Garcia 
Our First Baby Bag Distribution was a Huge Success! On August 15th, Cristo Rey passed out Baby Bags and groceries to families in the area. Though we were not able to hold a community Baby Shower and Health Fair as in years past, we still wanted to be a resource for area families! This event would not have been possible without the support of Blue Cross Complete, the City of Lansing and the Greater Lansing Food Bank Mobile Pantry.
