St. Vincent de Paul Update for Donations: March 28
Our St Vincent DePaul Conference is continuing to serve those in need during Covid-19.
We are still accepting non-perishable food and personal items, but because we may not have enough items to make up a complete hamper, grocery store gift cards and money is the most practical donation at this time.
If you have any grocery store gift cards or money to donate, please drop them off in the church mail slot. If you cannot drop them off, please contact us at the phone number and email below and we will pick them up from your home.
Non-perishable food and personal items ( toilet tissue, paper towels, diapers, women’s sanitary items, toothpaste, toothbrushes, anti-bacterial wipes, shampoos, soaps -- hand and laundry) may be dropped off Monday to Friday in the bin outside the Parish Office entrance during regular office hours.
Thank you for your generosity and support.
