We need your help!

If you cannot shop for food, monetary donations are also welcome. Make your check or EFT donation to Sacred Heart, and specify “Thanksgiving Baskets” in the memo line. Kindly keep in mind that this fundraising is above and beyond your parish offertory. It is important that we do not diminish our usual support for parish operations.
Bring all donations to Sacred Heart no later than 4PM Sunday November 20
