Sending Thanksgiving Wishes with Gratitude and Appreciation for all of You!
We conducted our Thanksgiving Distribution this past week. We helped 41 families with a total of 186 people (92 adults and 94 children). As always, we are grateful to Fr. Ron and the parish staff for supporting our work. We also want to give a big THANK YOU to our faithful donors who: 1) Continue to bring food week after week by the car, truck and bag full, 2) Donate gift cards, checks and cash so our families can buy fresh foods and dinner poultry/meats, 3) Knit and crochet blankets, scarves, hats and gloves and sew laundry bags, and 4) Health and beauty items such as hand sanitizer, make up and other items.
