St. Mary will be launching our annual THANKSGIVING FOOD and CLOTHING DRIVE from Monday October 1 to Friday October 5, 2018!
 
What is being collected?
  • non-perishable items: canned goods (fish & meat, vegetables/beans, fruit, soup, chili, pasta sauce), cereal/oatmeal, granola bars/snacks, peanut butter, jam, juice boxes, pasta, rice, tea, coffee, hot chocolate, stuffing, gravy, instant mashed potatoes
  • hygiene items: soap, shampoo, conditioner, lotion
  • gently used clothing, eyeglasses, school supplies
  • gift cards for local grocery stores
Where can I donate?
Each homeroom class has a grey St. Mary Mission Room donation bin. Retreat Leaders will visit on Friday October 5th to conduct a “weigh in” for a prize. The most generous senior and junior homeroom classes will be given the opportunity to participate in a scavenger hunt on Thursday October 11, 2018.
 
Where will the donations go?
· All gently-used clothing donations will be shipped directly to developing nations through Dr. Simone’s Canadian Food for Children
· We will also be distributing food directly to families who are part of our St. Mary Community who are in need of support through our The Mission Room (Community Outreach)
