As a parish, we will have one large, combined food drive the weekend of June 15th & 16th. We will sort the donations and then deliver items to various charities. Each church site will have a large wooden box in the back vestibule marked for food donations.

Our collections will benefit the following organizations:

• Mary's Gate at Assumption Church and Sacred Heart Church
• North Hills Community Outreach
• St. Vincent DePaul
• Blessings in a Backpack

A few things to keep in mind when purchasing items for donation:

• Only donate plastic or canned items. Please no glass jars or containers.
• Pop-top cans are best.
• Products that can easily be made without additional ingredients are appreciated.
• Single serve items are helpful.
• Please refrain from donating bulk size jars and containers; in this case smaller containers are better.
