Treat Yourself and Your Loved Ones to Recipes from Around the World
Your refugee neighbors have gathered to share their stories and their favorite recipes with you by producing Nashville’s World Table.  At over 160 pages, this book is packed with great food, stories of courage, and geographical information from 11 countries around the world.  In return for your suggested contribution of $15 you will be provided with this fabulous collection; and your dollars will go directly to our efforts in assisting refugees and their families along the path toward self sufficiency.  Grab one for yourself and don’t forget holiday gifts for friends and family!  We’d be happy to mail them on your behalf with a note acknowledging your donation in their name.  To contribute, please mail your check to the attention of Marcheta Claus/Cookbook and we’ll mail your cookbooks to you immediately, or come by our office anytime and pickup your cookbooks on the spot.  When mailing your donation, please note how many books you would like and to whom and what addresses you’d like them sent.  We thank you in advance and wish you many blessings.  Contact Marcheta Claus at 615-760-2790 or email at mclaus@cctenn.org.

Honor a Friend or Loved One with a Tribute Gift...
...in the spirit of those who traveled far to experience the joy of a new beginning.  To celebrate this special season, a contribution has been made on your behalf to the Refugee Resettlement Program to assist refugees making a new beginning in our land. 

You can celebrate a significant occasion, remember a loved one, commemorate a milestone or honor someone special, with a special tribute gift in their name to Catholic Charities Refugee & Immigration Services. Your donation will honor them and go a long way in extending the services we provide to refugees along their path toward self sufficiency.  We will acknowledge your thoughtful donation by providing you with a thank you card signed by our staff that you can sign and give to your loved one.  Offering a tribute gift is a great way to celebrate those close to you as well as contribute to the lives of those struggling to make a new life in Nashville.  Tribute gifts can be made by presenting a check payable to Catholic Charities with a note designating the name of the beneficiary and your mailing address.  Checks should be hand delivered or mailed to 10 South 6^th Street, Nashville, TN  37206, Attn:  Holly Johnson.  For more information contact Marcheta Claus at 615-760-2790 or email at mclaus@cctenn.org.
