The November mission collection will be our annual food contribution to the Catholic Harvest Food Pantry. Each homeroom is asked to donate a turkey and canned goods for a Thanksgiving dinner to the Food Pantry.
The Food Pantry is partnering with LifePath Ministries to provide 2,000 dinners to our community. Turkeys of all sizes are needed, as are gift cards to various grocery stores. A list of suggested food items for a Thanksgiving dinner is given below. Items should be stored in each homeroom until Friday, November 15. Please do not bring frozen turkeys until November 15.
