Heartfelt thanks and gratitude are extended all who participated in our drive for St. John St. Ann’s Outreach Center. Staff and volunteers at the center were most appreciative of our van load of supplies. They are only receiving about half of their typical order because the Food Bank is low on supplies or totally out of some items. Your kindness will go a long way in supporting a neighbor who is having a tough time making ends meet. Special thanks to Eli for sorting and greeting! Click for more photos

Blessings from all around town were received at our drive for St. James/St. Francis Food Pantry! Special shout to our Delmar Community Bank for sharing items with us, and to you St. Thomas for packing our van. Linda Cruz and her faithful volunteers at the pantry were surprised and appreciated the gift cards too that will be used to purchase needed food items. Special shout out to our greeters Kevin and Gehrig. Together we are making a difference! Click for more photos.
