“Share Your Shelf” Weekly Program
Thank you St. Mary’s parishioners for your generous donations to our weekly food shelf collections.
July’s Recipient: FOCUS Minnesota
Food Shelf Needs:
- Peanut Butter
- Canned Meat (ex. Tuna, Chicken, etc.)
Please do not bring any opened packages as they will be discarded.
The need is even greater now than ever as food insecurity in our community continues to skyrocket. You can bring bags of packaged or canned food to St. Mary’s during weekday business hours, or on Sunday mornings prior to the Divine Liturgy. We also have a collection box for monetary donations to help food shelves purchase needed food items. Checks should be made out to “St. Mary’s” with “Share Your Shelf” in the memo line.
