…… this is the time of year to donate to helping the less fortunate here on Isla de la Piedra so that they may have a Christmas \/ Christmas Eve dinner. I have collected for this group for many many years since 2010 and over Covid helped keep the community fed.<\/p>\n

The following is from Rocio and Dallas……<\/p>\n

Hello everyone and buen dia. We hope everyone had a great time this summer. It is almost Christmas time again so we are getting ready for Rocio’s Christmas Eve chicken and despensa program to provide a nice Christmas Eve dinner for the less fortunate folks here in Isla de la Piedra (Stone Island) and in Barron.<\/div>\n
The first year of the program we delivered 18 raw chickens with despensas. The second year we delivered 82. The third year we provided 150 chickens with despensas along with donated clothing. We set up in the park and let the people come to us.<\/div>\n
This will be our 12th year and like the last 3 years, we will have the folks come to our house early Christmas Eve morning to receive their chicken and despensa and choose some clothes.<\/div>\n
Rocio works with the leaders of the different neighborhoods of the Isla to determine those in need so we can help them<\/div>\n
have a nice Christmas Eve dinner.<\/div>\n
Last year with the help of Friends of the Isla, Friends Diner, La Baikery and lots of other donors of money, clothing, toys, shoes, blankets, towels, etc., and time, we were able to again provide 325 chickens with despensas, including 70 to Barron. We would like to equal that this year.<\/div>\n
The local economy is way down this year so we want to provide a great Christmas Eve dinner.<\/div>\n
This year we would like to provide the chicken (2-2.25 kg), 1 liter of milk, 1 kg of beans, 1 kg of rice, 1 cooking oil, 1 pasta, 1 tomatoe puree, 1 kg of flour, 1kg of potatoes, 1kg of carrots, and 1kg of bananas.<\/strong><\/div>\n
Our current estimate for the price of each chicken with despensa is approxiamately $325 pesos so we are hoping to raise $110,000 pesos.<\/strong><\/div>\n
Wendy has kindly allowed us to use Friends Diner as a donation drop of location in the Golden Zone and in Cerritos again this year. Guadalupe has graciously allowed us to use La Baikery in Centro again this year.<\/div>\n
We are asking for donations of money, clothes, shoes, towels, and blankets, etc. Please help if you can so we can make it a very merry Christmas for all these folks.<\/div>\n
Our paypal address is dallasyrocio@yahoo.com<\/em> or call or whatsapp Dallas Autery Isla Piedra at 669 100 2569 to make arrangements for pick up of donations.<\/div>\n
Thank you very much. We appreciate your generosity,<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Hola a todos y buen d\u00eda. Esperamos que todos hayan pasado un buen rato este verano. Ya casi es Navidad otra vez, as\u00ed que nos estamos preparando para el programa de pollo y despensa de Nochebuena de Rocio para brindar una agradable cena de Nochebuena para las personas menos afortunadas aqu\u00ed en Isla de la Piedra (Stone Island) y en Barron.<\/div>\n
El primer a\u00f1o del programa entregamos 18 pollos crudos con despensas. El segundo a\u00f1o entregamos 82. El tercer a\u00f1o proporcionamos 150 pollos con despensas junto con ropa donada. Nos instalamos en el parque y dejamos que la gente venga a nosotros.<\/div>\n
Este ser\u00e1 nuestro duod\u00e9cimo a\u00f1o y, como los \u00faltimos 3 a\u00f1os, haremos que la gente venga a nuestra casa temprano en la ma\u00f1ana de Nochebuena para recibir su pollo y despensa y elegir algo de ropa.<\/div>\n
Rocio trabaja con los l\u00edderes de los diferentes vecindarios de la Isla para determinar qui\u00e9nes<\/div>\n
\n
est\u00e1n en necesidad para que podamos ayudarlos a tener una agradable cena de Nochebuena.<\/div>\n
El a\u00f1o pasado, con la ayuda de Friends of the Isla, Friends Diner, La Baikery y muchos otros donantes de dinero, ropa, juguetes, zapatos, mantas, toallas, etc., y tiempo, pudimos proporcionar nuevamente 325 pollos con despensa, incluidos 70 a Barron. Nos gustar\u00eda igualar esa cifra este a\u00f1o.<\/div>\n
La econom\u00eda local est\u00e1 muy deprimida este a\u00f1o, por lo que queremos ofrecer una gran cena de Nochebuena.<\/div>\n
Este a\u00f1o nos gustar\u00eda proporcionar el pollo (2-2,25 kg), 1 litro de leche, 1 kg de frijoles, 1 kg de arroz, 1 aceite de cocina, 1 pasta, 1 pur\u00e9 de tomate, 1 kg de harina, 1 kg de papas, 1 kg de zanahorias y 1 kg de pl\u00e1tanos.<\/div>\n
Nuestro estimado actual para el precio de cada pollo con despensa es de aproximadamente $325 pesos, por lo que esperamos recaudar $110.000 pesos. Wendy nos ha permitido amablemente utilizar Friends Diner como lugar de entrega de donaciones en la Zona Dorada y en Cerritos nuevamente este a\u00f1o. Guadalupe nos ha permitido amablemente utilizar La Baikery en Centro nuevamente este a\u00f1o.<\/div>\n
Estamos pidiendo donaciones de dinero, ropa, zapatos, toallas y mantas, etc. Por favor, ay\u00fadennos si pueden para que podamos hacer que esta sea una muy feliz Navidad para todas estas personas.<\/div>\n
