Child Protection Changes
The  United States Conference of Catholic Bishops  has revised the child protection policies which means there will be some changes to the application process.        

At this time,  new volunteer applications  will  not  be processed. Once the updated policies and forms are active, new volunteer applications will be accepted for processing.       
                                                                                           
Please note  all volunteers that are currently compliant  must also update their child protection paperwork with the revised forms in order to maintain their child protection credentials.                                                                                                                                                 
More information will be provided once all the revised policies and forms are released.
Volunteer Opportunities
POP TOPS
We are no longer collecting pop tops to recycle, as the value of these has greatly diminished. We will still collect the Plastic Coke Tops (see below) and Coke Rewards.

Coke Tops
Our Coke Tops Bin is full from donations last year, but we still need help scanning the tops into our account. The coke tops can be sent home with your student and scanned with your phone at home. Time spent scanning count towards your Time and Talent hours. If you are interested, please contact Jeannine Naquin at JRNaquin@gmail.com or Kylie Ortego at   kdortego@cox.net
