Each year Sacred Heart delivers food to the needy families in the Fountain Lake, Jessieville and Mountain Pine areas for the holidays.  Last year we delivered 44 baskets for Christmas alone.  The donated food is purchased with funds given by Sacred Heart parishioners.  Without your donations, we would not be able to help those families.

Donations to help purchase food for the baskets can be made at a special collection the weekend of November 8/9. There will be a second collection at Mass . . . Just put your check in the colection basket.  If you miss this opportunity, you can also mail your donation to Jim Schmidt, 2 Certero Circle.  Please make your check payable to Sacred Heart and on the memo line, please write "basket program."  This is necessary to identify the basket donations from the general church donations.

According to the United States Census, approximately 25% of the children in our area live in poverty.  So, thank you for your generous donations in the past.  Please continue to help us to help our less fortunate neighbors!
