Canned Goods Food Collection
Once again this year we will be participating in the Hibernian Hunger Food Drive to collect canned goods and other non-perishable food products to help families in need. The food is donated to 10 local community food cupboards and programs in the Philadelphia area. Last year we collected almost 130 pounds of food to help support the Holy Redeemer Food Pantry. Support a great cause by dropping off items in the collection bins in the Basil lobby. The collection will run through the end of March.

Walk-A-Mile Soup Supper - April 10
On Wednesday, April 10, we will host our 4th Annual "Walk a Mile" Soup Supper, a simple soup and bread dinner to mirror the experience that thousands of hungry Americans face each day dining in soup kitchens. You are invited to join us in the SBA cafeteria any time between
5 and 7 PM. Members of our lacrosse team will be present to help serve the meal.
Several faculty and staff members will be making soup, but interested soup makers are invited to bring a crock pot or large pot of their favorite soup. Soup can be dropped off the day of the event between 3:00 and 4:15 PM to be reheated by us or can be brought hot to the event. If you are interested in making soup, please sign up here.
Our students have worked closely with Face to Face through the years, and we are excited for this opportunity to partner with them and come together during the Lenten season. The cost for dinner will be $5 per person or $20 per family. Payment can be made at the door. All proceeds will be donated directly to Face to Face Soup Kitchen. Thank you for your support!
