Monthly Food Drive
We have implemented an ongoing food drive to support local parish-operated food pantries. Our monthly food collection will be held at all Masses the last weekend of the month. Please place your items in the boxes located in the back of the church. Items needed: diapers, soap, hygiene products, socks, cooking oil, non-perishable juice, jelly, canned fruit, canned vegetables, canned tuna, canned soups/stews.
Donate-a-Day Opportunities
Donate-a-Day is an opportunity to share our gifts by reaching out to those in need on a one-time basis. It’s a great opportunity for families or groups of friends to give service to others. Here are some examples. Please see page 4 of
this week's bulletin for a list of the most current Donate-a-Day opportunities. Contact
