Almsgiving

Every year we have a Lenten Project - this year we will be Raising funds to support our goal of packaging 40,000+ meals at Meals from the Heartland. February 24 and 25 we will be handing out M&M containers as our “Thank you in advance for you generous response!” We ask that you bring your container back in the following weeks filled with your donation to this very worthy cause. Our goal is $10,000. Can we do it?

On Saturday, March 23 it will take about 80 parishioners to fill those bags. Watch for the sign-up sheet to get your family, neighborhood group, or friends to go package together!

Consider giving your time also - Meal Packaging will be Saturday, March 23!

    Hunger is a very real struggle for many in the world. In one two-hour shift a person can package about 540 meals - that is enough to feed 2 kids for over a year - so image what 80 of us can do!

    Our goal is to have 80 people package 40,000 meals.

    Our parish goal is to raise $10,000 to assist in paying for the cost of the meals and shipping them where they will be serve those in need.
