The Soup Peddler is working with Manos de Cristo to sell tamales (I found out yesterday). The week the tamales come in, he is making soups to go with the tamales. He sent out information about it to his list and we have received over forty emails so far from his customers ordering tamales. If you are a Soup Peddler customer (I'm not, b/c I live in North Austin), please order some tamales! They are for a very good cause.

Also, if you aren't a customer, you can still order tamales from Manos de Cristo. Manos serves the people of East Austin through a dental clinic, clothes closet, food pantry and ESL (as well as citizenship) classes. You can purchase tamales (for a limited time) by calling the office at 477-7454. I believe they are $7.50 per dozen, and you have your pick of chicken, pork, bean (I think) or jalapeno. I am quoting this all from memory, so please call the office for better information. Help Manos help others!

There is no current webpage for Manos right now, unfortunately. Feel free to call the office for more on what Manos is all about. We are going to get a site set up very soon, I promise! I've been badgering them since January to do it.
