Mary Challis first visited San Miguel de Allende in the mid-eighties with a boyfriend. The relationship didn\u2019t last but her love affair with San Miguel flourished and she stayed 15 years.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Faith and religion have been constants in her life. While in San Miguel, Mary joined St. Paul\u2019s Church, serving on the Vestry a couple of times. After every Sunday service, there is a \u201cCoffee Hour.\u201d Mary remembers poor children and their parents showing up to see if there was food left over. She thinks of that as the beginning of Feed the Hungry. She then heard of the need for a director. Mary volunteered and served in that position from the mid-eighties until 1989 or 1990.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u201cI always get into things I know nothing about,\u201d she said laughing, but became more serious as she added, \u201cSan Miguel was different then. You saw much more urban poverty than you do now.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Mary recalls working with Dean and Nancy Underwood, Martha and Bill Casselberry, I.J. Kuehn, and Sylvia Jessup – all names that are part of Feed the Hungry\u2019s early history. \u201cRobin Spencer, Nancy Underwood’s daughter, helped me. I did all the buying of food and I remember that I went out of town to a market to buy beans and rice in large quantities. I had a VW Vanagon\u202fso had plenty of room. Robin managed Feed the Hungry if I needed to go back to the States.\u202fShe was very helpful.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u202f<\/span>Robin and Mary also looked for food wherever they could get it. \u201cI had a friend who owned a restaurant called\u202fPepe\u2019s Patio.\u202fI went there daily to pick up her soup, bread, and sometimes desserts and took\u202fit to the kitchens.\u202fRice, beans, and tortillas were the staples. I took any donations of food.\u201d Then they took the food, as Mary remembers, to three kitchens, all located near schools. \u201cWe found\u202fMexican cooks and paid them a small amount.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

St. Paul\u2019s Church would give gifts to children at Christmas, first to the ones served by the kitchens.\u00a0 Mary recalls that \u201cparishioners gave me clothes and toys that we\u2019d distribute to the children, but so many kids would show up that we would run out of gifts. The next year we made a list of\u202four regular children at the feeding stations\u202fand called out the names to be sure that our regulars got a gift first. Then the others. I don’t know where they all came from. Word spreads fast!\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The connection with the children has stayed with Mary longest. \u201cI was with the program almost five years. Consequently the children got to know me quite well. Years later, I was walking\u202fdown the street in San Miguel and heard a voice say, \u2018Hola, Se\u00f1ora\u202fMar\u00eda, \u00bfC\u00f3mo est\u00e1?\u2019 I looked across the street to see a tall young man. I answered\u202fbut was a\u202fbit bewildered.\u202fI asked him how he knew me and his reply was, \u2018I\u202fremember you from when I was young and ate at the feeding station.\u2019 I was pleased that he would know who I was after all those years.\u202fHe had changed but I guess I had not – not so much anyway. It also happened to me in a restaurant. A young woman did the same thing to me. She remembered me from when she was a little girl and she was now working in\u202frestaurant. Those are blessings to me for which I am very thankful.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Mary acknowledged that she has always had a special bond with children, and that kept her dedicated to Feed <\/span>the Hungry<\/span>. It also led her to eventually leave Mexico because when her grandchildren were born, she knew it was time to return to California. She <\/span>didn\u2019t<\/span> want to miss that grandchild experience.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>

\u201cI connect with children \u2026 and animals.\u201d To make enough money to allow her to return to San Miguel for a couple of weeks every year, she runs a \u201cdoggie and cat care service.\u201d She goes to people\u2019s homes and takes care of their animals and, with no small amount of pride, she announced that she was \u201cbooked the last two weeks in December.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

She also looked with pride at having stuck with Feed the Hungry when it had no money, when she had to pick up soup and chicken fat from restaurants, and when no one knew how long the organization would last. \u201cI wanted it to work.\u201d\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Mary\u2019s memories of her 15 years in San Miguel include being president of the garden club, although she did not know the names of any plants; taking part in a poker club; being held up in P\u00e1tzcuaro; sitting on a scorpion; and helping start a volunteer group at the Hospital de la Fe, which at that time had only 12 beds.\u00a0 Doing what she loves to do, she said, and added, \u201cI always have a wonderful time in San Miguel.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
