Thanks to your generosity, we collected a carload of food, diapers, school supplies, gifts, and over $1800 to be shared with the clients at St. Charles Tri-Parish Food Bank in Burlington and Catholic Community Services (CCS) Farmworker Center in Mount Vernon.  We also collected masks, care kits, and hygiene supplies for Migrant Health Clinics in the region.  These will go a long way in protecting and nourishing recipients, and are also a tangible reminder that others are thinking of them. Thank you for helping to bring God’s love and care to those who put food on our tables!
