Thanks so much to all parishioners who have donated school supplies to children in need in the Bronx. We recently made two trips down to Good Shepherd Family Services, and they were thrilled with all your donations and so very grateful. They said the children they work with will be able to start school more confidently by having the supplies they needed.

We will make another trip down at the end of August, so if you have not yet made a donation there is still time.

Thanks so much for all you do for children/families in need!

SCHOOL SUPPLIES NEEDED
We will be collecting NEW school supplies for children in need until the end of August.
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. We will also give some supplies to the Interfaith Food Pantry of Mt Pleasant.

Needed items- NEW - crayola crayons, #2 pencils, pens, spiral single subject notebooks, marble composition books, filler paper, file folders, glue sticks, crayola markers, Elmers washable school glue, erasers, crayola colored pencils, binders, and school scissors. New Backpacks would also be appreciated.

Please leave all donations in the Social Concerns bins. Thanks so much in advance for your generosity!! Whatever you can do will be greatly appreciated!!
