This three- day ongoing expo will showcase various Caritas Margins products from different marginaliz­ed community partners, ranging from food, home and ladies accessorie­s, personal care products, artwork from resident inmates of penal communitie­s cared by Caritas Restorativ­e Justice Ministry, and other gift items and decors.
