Harvest Sunday Results: Thank You, St. Thomas!
This Harvest Sunday, more than one hundred volunteers distributed flyers, solicited at Casey’s, donated through a drive through donation, sorted and packed food, and so much more! As always, St. Thomas took over the community this Harvest Sunday and in doing so, made a huge impact.
The food donated was sorted and boxed into 750 boxes and counting! 40 percent of the food will be shared with the Sisters of Notre Dame from the south side of Chicago; 40 percent with Queen of the Apostles in Joliet (Fr. Dof’s former parish); and 20 percent to our Care Pantry.
Additional Thank-Yous
Many thanks to everyone involved for a successful event! To our Care Pantry coordinators, Michelle Hunt and Chris Sehgal, to our Care Pantry volunteers who continuously show up in so many ways, to the youth and young adults of our parish who helped us work so efficiently and joyfully, and to all of the new faces who attended this year! Whether you donated food, volunteered your time, or made a monetary contribution, it’s thanks to you that this is all possible.
Remember those you have impacted as you share your holiday meals this year.
