Special thank you to Maggie Lennon and the other students assisted her in hosting the a Halloween Fun Run to benefit our parish food pantry! Maggie stopped by the office this past week and dropped off the proceeds which totaled $1,758.00! We’re very thankful for the funds which will go to good use this time of year and knowing that we have such wonderful young servants of Christ in our parish!
Why Food Bank of Iowa? The order we received this week weighed 1,248 pounds! And only cost $61.40! That’s why we try and get as much as possible from the Food Bank of Iowa.
Short a few items! Typically we're able to get cereal, peanut butter, pancake mix and syrup from the Food Bank of Iowa. Unfortunately these items have not been available when we have ordered in recent weeks and we're running low and having to purchase them from the store (which we're grateful for the funds we have to do so!)
If you would be so kind as to pick up one or two of the follow items and bring them to Mass over the next few weeks we would greatly appreciate it! Meanwhile, we’ll keep an eye on the availability at the Food Bank of Iowa to get stocked back up soon!
