In 2012, Casa Hogar Orphanage Inc (CHOI) participated in an Alpine, Texas, event called Gallery Night to solicit donations, sell pot holders made by Teda Neill and others, and, in general, provide visibility for the CHOI program.  A group from First Presbyterian Church of Alpine, Texas, made the Raggedy Ann and Andy and other items for sale, and then organized and operated the booth.

The youth of the First Baptist Church of Alpine, Texas, have raised nearly $1000 to buy new coats for every child at Albergue Casa Hogar.  The coats will be presented at a party to be held at the Orphanage in January. To raise the money, the group made tortilla soup, cornbread, dessert, and a salad which they served to all the folks who attended church that Sunday at $5 per bowl.  Obviously, lots of people paid more than $5.

RECENT  PROJECTS          

The youth of University Church of Christ in Denver, Colorado, individually raised money and donated it to pay for hoodies for the children at Albergue Casa Hogar.  One parent and  youth minister, Josh Jones, coordinated the work.  This was their service project for their Christmas party.
