THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO DONATED TO THIS YEAR'S SCHOOL SUPPLIES DRIVE!

School Supply Thanks- Many, many thanks to all parishioners who donated school supplies to children in need in the Bronx.  We received donations of notebooks, pencils, crayons, calculators, backpacks...even masks and wipes! All the items were delivered to Good Shepherd Family Services in the Bronx.  The social workers there were so happy and grateful to receive so many items which will be given to their neediest families.  They said it has been a very difficult spring and summer for their clients, and all your donations will help to give the children a great start to this new school year.  Special thanks to Lynn Ryan who donated school supplies in memory of her sister Denise Pochat with her "Kindness Matters" project.  Thanks to all for your support and generosity!!! 

Proverbs 19:17- "Whoever is generous to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will repay him for his deed".

We will be collecting NEW school supplies for children in need
all summer until Labor Day. 

Good Shepherd Family Services in the Bronx said many families they serve are unable to buy school supplies for their children.  We would love to be able to give those children supplies so they can have a good start to the new school year.

Last year, with our donations, each Social Worker was able to give supplies to 4 of their neediest families. This year we would love to help out even more families.  Can you help make that possible?
