We will be having our SIXTEENTH ANNUAL TURKEY DRIVE the morning of Sunday, November 17 between 7:30 am and 12 Noon. If you are able please bring the following items to help us feed the hungry for the holiday:
Frozen Turkeys (no fresh or live turkeys)
Bags/Boxes of Stuffing Mix
Canned Vegetables (large cans)
There will be a collection point situated outside the Franciscan Center for Urban Ministry during those four and a half hours only (7:30 am-12 Noon). Please be alerted that due to a lack of storage on site these items will be collected ONLY* on that morning. Our collection will be gathered with the assistance of our Confirmation candidates, some of their family members and other parish volunteers. Items collected will go to benefit our partner The House of Bread. Our sincere gratitude to you for generously supporting this initiative to feed the hungry.
Our Confirmation families and a parish group team up to create special turkey sandwich bags to be handed out on Thanksgiving at the House of Bread and at our sandwich door at the Franciscan Center. The bags are beautifully decorated and full of tasty treats to give our neighbors in need a special meal for Thanksgiving.
Please note that turkeys can only be accepted on Sunday, November 17 from 7:30 am – noon.
Thank you for your generosity!
Special thanks to our Teen Faith Formation Ministry and their families for their help in collecting and transporting the turkeys from the front of the Franciscan Center to the House of Bread!
