ince 1991, Sister Rosa Dolores Rodriguez has led an effort to bring holiday cheer to families in need at Casa de la Cultura in Pajaro, where she serves as Executive Director. The organization’s annual Food and Gift Christmas Giveaway invites children to sign up prior to the event to get a Christmas toy. It also qualifies their families for packages of food and new clothing. This year, despite the ongoing Covid19 pandemic, Sister Dolores was determined to move forward with the event.
