Bombas Giving Partner

1,000 Pairs of Free Socks!


Perhaps you've heard one of Bombas apparel company's commercials referencing "one purchased = one donated" in their mission to help homelessness. Deacon Gary applied for St. Michael's to become one of Bombas' 3500 giving partners who have so far donated over 75 million socks, t-shirts, and underwear to those in need. Our first 1,000 pairs of free socks arrived, and some were already distributed at Laundry Love this week. Grateful to Gary for this opportunity to reach beyond our walls!

Creating Space:

This Saturday, July 22, 9:00 AM


Join for Christmas in July!

'Twas the night before Christmas and in every house 

a crafter was crafting and starting to grouse, "If I'd only started when this popped in my head, I'd have long since been done and asleep in my bed."

Come when you can between 9:00 AM and noon in the Parish Hall to work on any project you'd like. Contact Mary Hattick at mhattick@gmail.com or Sandra Willey at boppiewilley@gmail.com with any questions.
