Outreach

Food baskets containing all the "fixings" for a traditional dinner including turkeys donated by the parishioners are distributed by the Food Pantry to clients at Thanksgiving.

This is a daily ministry that focuses on the people living in the streets. We use the gift cards from the Giving Tree to give them a chance to go into a restaurant and get warm/dry and have something hot to eat. At Christmas we also collected warm socks and gloves to give to them. We also keep a supply of jeans, socks and shirts on hand and have purchased sneakers/boots. The donations from the St. Anthony Bread for the Poorbaskets in the church help to fung this ministry. The food pantry prepares special bags of food for them that we givr out daily. We give out more than 30 bags a week. This is to projected to double since the city closed the day Shelter

Saint Anne's Closet is open Wednesdays from 1-3 p.m.  Good, clean, slightly used children's clothing is distributed free twice a month to those in need.  Last names A-L are welcomed on the first and third Wednesdays; last names M-Z on the second and fourth Wednesdays of each month.
