GREENSBORO — Members of the Guilford County Na Cara Division 1 of the Ancient Order of Hibernians recently distributed $9,000 to charities from proceeds generated from its annual Patrick J. Rooney Charity Raffle.
In furtherance of their commitment to direct Catholic action, members also led a Hurricane Matthew relief drive that raised more than $1,000 to buy non-perishable food items and baby care items for families affected by the recent hurricane in eastern North Carolina.
As a result, a St. Vincent de Paul truckload of these items as well as bags of clothing was delivered to St. Francis de Sales Church in Lumberton.
