If you can’t shop, monetary donations are welcome. Make your check or EFT donation to Sacred Heart and specify “Thanksgiving Baskets” in the memo line. Kindly keep in mind that fundraising activities are above and beyond parish offertory. We are blessed to have many ministries, but it is important that we do not diminish support to parish operations in their favor.
