Texas Food Manufacturer Announces Donation to Catholic Charities of the Rio Grande Valley

FORT WORTH, Texas - Jan. 30, 2019 - PRLog -- Halo del Santo LLC, maker of margarita salt and Mexican-style lollipops (paletas con chile), is proud to announce today a donation to Catholic Charities of the Rio Grande Valley. For every tin of cocktail garnish sold online during the month of February, either on its own website (www.halorim.com) or on Amazon, the company will donate two dollars and two paletas to the Humanitarian Respite Center in McAllen, TX.

"Reading in the December issue of Texas Monthly about the compassionate work of Sister Norma Pimentel and the organization she leads was an inspiration," says company founder Scott Hackler. "Here is a woman who has steered clear of, and sort of risen above, the politics in order to do what she knows to be right." The Humanitarian Respite Center is just three blocks from the downtown bus station where U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement releases refugees cleared to stay in the country until their asylum claims are ruled on. Volunteers direct immigrants to the center for a meal, a shower, a nap, and a change of clothes.

"Among the many people who find their way to this oasis are plenty of children. They've gone without food and water in some cases, and have certainly gone without any sort of treat," Hackler says. "We make paletas con chile--the treat so many children in Mexico and Central America love most. I realized immediately we had to find a way to get a big box of our lollipops to McAllen."
