'Paupers meal' raises money for Haiti relief

Employees and visitors at St. Anthony's Medical Center in St. Louis dined on "paupers' meals" on Ash Wednesday to generate funds for earthquake relief in Haiti. They paid $5 each for a serving of donated meatless soup and bread. Through that fund-raiser and other collection efforts, St. Anthony's raised more than $1,800, that it will donate to Catholic Relief Services.
