The goal is to collect 150 backpacks for the homeless by Thursday, Dec. 15. Donations will go to 137 Connection and Catholic Charities. Items needed include: backpack, warm socks, blanket, gloves, hat, toothbrush, toothpaste, shampoo, body wash, wipes, granola bars, oatmeal bars, trail mix, apple sauce, small $ gift cards to Wendy’s or McDonald’s —or other things they can enjoy or can eat. We will also accept gift cards to Walmart or Amazon so that our volunteers can purchase supplies, but donating items above is preferred. Please bring donations to the Parish Office. Thank you for your help and support!
