Thanksgiving Food Drive Expanded to Two Weekends

We’ve added an extra week to help meet the growing need as local food banks face increasing strain. As Jesus reminded us in last week’s Gospel, nothing and no one should be lost.; as a Family of Families, we’re called to respond.
• This Weekend, Nov 8–9: Bring your food donations to any Mass
• Nov 15 (9 AM–12 PM): Drop off donations at the Immaculate Conception parking lot
All shelf-stable or canned foods are welcome — especially canned fruits and vegetables (cranberry sauce, corn, green beans, sweet potatoes), canned stuffing or meats, and sweet treats like Rice Krispie bars, Twinkies, or brownie mix. (No ramen, please — we already have plenty!) By starting early, we can make sure our local food banks are ready when families need them most!
