Donations Needed for Thursday Food Drives

Thursdays from 4:30 - 5:30 pm
Bring donations to St. John's Parking Lot

Although the Covid-19 infection rate has lessened in our area, the economic hardship and food insufficiency it has caused has not. The steady number of families seeking help at our weekly food distributions is indicative that the crisis in our community continues. Please consider making a donation from the list below - you will be making a real difference in the life of a neighbor during this very difficult time.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE FOOD DRIVE SCHEDULE HAS CHANGED: Our Outreach food drives have switched to Thursday afternoons from 4:30-5:30 pm to make it easier for more parishioners to participate. The first Thursday drive will be on July 23rd

Thank you to all who helped last week, including this week's volunteers: Frank Gundersen and Bonnie Boylan.
