They need towels, blankets, wash cloths, twin sheets, pillows, bras, clothing & men’s shoes, socks & new underwear (adult sizes).
Hygiene supplies are desperately needed.

Volunteers Needed!

Volunteers Needed for Weekend Collection Counting!
We are in need of reliable and trustworthy individuals to assist with counting the church offerings. This role is essential in maintaining the financial integrity of our church. If you have a keen eye for detail and can commit to a regular schedule, we would love you to be part of this team. It will be Sundays after Mass.
No prior experience is necessary—just a commitment to accuracy and confidentiality. If you have a heart to serve and can spare some time, we invite you to join our team. Training will be provided, and your help is greatly appreciated! Please note that related volunteers cannot be part of the same cash counting team, but we greatly appreciate additional volunteers. Please contact us if you're interested in getting involved.
