This ministry was begun in 2001, to help
serve the less fortunate in our own community. Four
times a year a collection is made of food, new clothing,
baby goods and other necessities in a specific
geographical area of our parish. With this system
parishioners are asked to give only once a year,
although contributions at other times of the year are
welcome. Volunteers deliver collection bags, along with
a list of desired items and a notice regarding the day
of pick up. A week later the volunteer returns to pick
up the filled bag (or a check if preferred) from the
parishioner’s door step. The bags are then delivered to
St. Max on a Saturday morning where pre approved
charities select the items they need. The needy are
served by this worthwhile project through twenty-three
charities including Catholic Charities, Many Mansions,
St. Vincent de Paul, School on Wheels and Senior
Concerns. See a complete list below. If you have a few hours to spare you are invited to participate in this wonderful outreach program for the whole family. You can help by delivering the bags, collecting them or helping with distribution. Or you can just make a contribution. Call Norm Lamarra at the number above to see how you can help. There are no regular meetings to attend. The Project Response Distribution Dates at St. Max are as follows: November 7th 2009 February 6th 2010 March 20th 2010 May 22nd 2010
