Sign Up to Volunteer for Harvest Sunday – a St. Thomas Tradition
What is Harvest Sunday?
Harvest Sunday is our parish’s response to the call of Christ to “feed the hungry.” This food drive enables St. Thomas and two other food pantries to supply food to those in need.
There are many ways to support the effort of Harvest Sunday. Consider helping in one (or more) of the following ways:
- Sign up to deliver flyers and collect food from a neighborhood route.
- If your neighborhood is not one of those covered by a neighborhood route, consider building your own route: Create your own route in your own neighborhood with as many homes as you would like. (Examples: next door and across the street, both sides of the street on your block, your cul-de-sac, etc.).
- Volunteers are needed to help solicit food donations at Casey’s on Sunday, November 1. The volunteer shifts are two hours long. Collection at Casey's takes place on Harvest Sunday this year rather than the weekend prior.
- Sort and pack the food at St. Thomas. The number of volunteers allowed in the gym during these shifts will be limited.
For the volunteer opportunities discussed above, we request that you sign up to volunteer by selecting the appropriate link below.
There are also additional ways to help which do not require sign up.
If you are not in an area that is covered by a neighborhood route, you are welcome to drop off a food donation on Saturday, October 31, from 4:00-6:00 pm, or Sunday, November 1, from 9:00 am – 3:30 pm. This will be organized as a ‘drive-thru’ donation opportunity.
You can also donate through Amazon and the items will be delivered to St. Thomas. Click HERE and you will be presented with suggestions for ordering.
Harvest Sunday is a wonderful family service opportunity!
