Tim Berry is a marathon runner from Chicago who will be running in the 2019 TCS New York City Marathon on behalf of Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of New York this Sunday, November 3, 2019. Tim is currently homeless and eats his super most weeknights at Catholic Charities of Chicago’s LaSalle Street Headquarters.

Margot Davis is the Pregnancy and Parenting Support Case Manager of Catholic Charities of Eastern Virginia and talks to us about the work of Catholic Charities of Eastern Virginia and its “Halloween Costume Drive,” which allows children and their families to participate in Halloween by dressing up in donated costumes and enjoy the holiday as other children would, without their families having to worry about the additional expense that a Halloween costume could represent to a struggling family.
