Thanksgiving Basket Ministry

We support an average of 150 baskets for approximately 1000 family members.

A "Love" truck weekend is sponsored for parishioners to assist in providing requested items or by donating funds or gift cards.  The parish reaches out to needy families on Thanksgiving by collecting, preparing, and distributing food baskets. The baskets are distributed to registered needy parishioners and clients of the Social Ministry St. Anthony Bread Food Pantry.

"Love Truck" sacks are passed out after Mass the first weekend in November and the collection takes place the following weekend.  The next weekend which is the weekend before Thanksgiving, the clients receive their boxes of food.
(On occasion the month of November may have 5 weekends and sack handout and the "Love Truck" will be adjusted accordingly.  The collection is always 2 weekends prior to Thanksgiving to allow the clients to receive their boxes the weekend before.)
