Ongoing and Upcoming

We've had a busy Summer at the pantry and as Fall approaches we expect to be just as busy. Even if you are unable to volunteer at the pantry on Thursdays you can still help with an ongoing drive and with some upcoming efforts that are planned.

Believe it or not the most asked for item other than food at the pantry is for toilet paper! We are having a toilet paper drive right now during September and on into October. If you could bring in one roll every time you come to Mass at Saint Anthony's during those months it would be awesome.

During November and December we will be having another blanket drive. Last year's drive was very successful and we would like this year's to be just as helpful. The goal is to collect 350 new blankets to give out the week before Christmas — one to each of the families we regularly serve. This is a lot of blankets but together we can make it happen. Thank you for your generosity.

Next year, during March and April, we will once more be participating in the Feinstein Challenge.

And on April 30, 2011 we have a dinner/dance planned. We'd like to see you there.

For further information on participating in the pantry or in these efforts please contact Paula, the Food Pantry Coordinator at 508-993-1691.
