Let’s Make Thanksgiving last all year...
In place of Thanksgiving Dinner Baskets this year, we would like to pledge to help keep the pantries at St. Mary’s and St. Catherine’s stocked throughout the entire year.

Items needed on a weekly basis throughout the year include (but are not limited to) the following:
  • Canned vegetables and fruits
  • Boxed meals (i.e. Mac ‘N Cheese...)
  • Peanut Butter
  • Canned meats
  • Soups
  • Rice and pasta
  • Crackers
  • Kid’s Snacks (i.e. Fruit Roll-ups, Poptarts)
  • Boxed Cereals
Gift Cards for Winn-Dixie, Publix or Target and cash donations are welcomed! But it is so simple to add the needed items to our personal shopping trips to the grocery store. Don’t forget the “buy one, get one free” sales.
