The Parish Pastoral Council is running a Thanksgiving Food Drive for our local food bank. The weekend before Thanksgiving (October 4th & 5th) we will be asking every household in the parish to take home at least 3 shopping bags (donated by our local Metro). The goal is to have one bag filled by your household and one bag filled by at least two of your neighbors. The bags are to be returned the weekend after Thanksgiving (October 18th & 19th).
In appreciation, there will be a Parish Thanksgiving Communion Breakfast for all who participate in the food drive including your participating neighbors. Don’t worry, we will have handout instructions to go along with the shopping bags.
We are also asking for volunteers to make this food drive a success by:
- Delivering the bags of donations to the local food bank (an hour or two to be scheduled the week following October 19).
- Helping with the Communion Brunch scheduled for Sunday, October 19 following the 10:00 AM Mass.
We will have members of our Parish Council with sign up sheets in the Narthex after Masses this weekend.
