Our annual Thanksgiving Food Drive is right around the corner! St. Anthony Parish gives out over 200 Thanksgiving Baskets with food for families in need in our community. Our children help with this effort by bringing in food items for the baskets. Each class is asked to bring in a different item, so we can collect a good amount of each type needed.

PreK – Mac-n-Cheese
Kinder – PB & J (Plastic jars ONLY)
1 ^st – Canned Green Beans
2 ^nd – Canned Corn
3 ^rd – Cornbread Mix
4 ^th – 1lb bag Rice
5 ^th – 1lb bag Dried Pinto Beans
6 ^th – Canned Yams

You can begin bringing them to classes Oct. 21 and the last day to bring food items is Nov. 11. The weekend before Thanksgiving is when everything is sorted, bagged and delivered. As the time nears, details of times will be in the bulletin and on our website. Consider volunteering as a family...it's a wonderful way to spend some time together giving thanks for your blessings while blessing others. Thank you for your generosity and teaching your children the Corporeal Works of Mercy - Feed the hungry.

"Come, you who are blessed by my Father. Inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, a stranger and you welcomed me, naked and you clothed me, ill and you cared for me, in prison and you visited me." Matthew 25:34-36
