In conjunction with the Extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy, our spring service learning project is to collect food and toiletry items for the St. Vincent de Paul Society. This society is affiliated with Ascension Parish and its primary goal is to ensure all Catholic families in our school area that need help, get help. Due to the economy and the time of year, the shelves in the hamper room are low in supply. We encourage students to bring in items to help out families in our area from Tuesday, May 24th to Monday, May 30th 2016. Below is a list of food and toiletry items that the society is especially in need of:
Food Items: Canned tomatoes, canned salmon, flakes of ham and chicken, canned fruit (mixed fruit, peaches, pineapple), canned vegetables (green beans, peas, peas & carrots), canned soups, juice, strawberry or raspberry jam, peanut butter, cereal, crackers, “Sidekicks”, uncooked bagged white rice, Macaroni & Cheese, cake mixes, cookies, snack items for lunches
Toiletry Items: shampoo with conditioner, tooth brushes and toothpaste, dish soap, laundry soap, cleaning supplies, facial tissue and toilet paper.
Thank you for your continued support of school-initiated endeavors to help those in need in our community.
