Food Bank Collection is the Second Sunday of each month. Please place non-perishable items in the designated baskets. Items most needed: Canned chicken, meat and pasta, stews, fruits, carrots, beets, potatoes, and yams; peanut butter and jelly, baking mixes, jello/pudding, crackers, cookies, coffee. No baby items are needed at this time.
Shampoo Collection: St. Margaret’s will be collecting full size bottles of shampoo for the EHS Angel Network from Sunday March 10th until Sunday April 7th. Our goal is 120 bottles. Please place your contributions in one of the boxes in the back of the church. Please do not bring in bottles that have a pump type of top, as they leak easily if bumped. Thank you for your generous support of this outreach ministry. Please see Jen Burkhardt with any questions.
We are looking for volunteers to help with the EHS Angel Network spring baskets.
We are looking for three volunteers to help with carrying food items from cars into Holy Spirit Church. Drop off is Sunday April 7th at 3 PM. Please see Jenn Burkhardt if interested.
