Each year Sacred Heart delivers food to needy families in Fountain Lake, Jessieville and Mountain Pine areas for the holidays.  Last year we delivered 60 baskets for Christmas alone.  The food for the baskets is purchased in part, with funds donated by Sacred Heart parishioners.  Without those donations, we would not be able to help as many families.

Donations to help purchase food for the baskets can be made at a special second collection next weekend, November 7 and 8.  Just drop your check in the collection basket.  If you miss this opportunity, you can also mail donations to Jim Schmidt, 2 Certero Circle, HSV.  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, aproximately 22% of the individuals in Garland County live in poverty.  So, thank you for your generous donations in the past, and please continue to help us help our less fortunate neighbors!  In addition, if you can deliver a basket at either Thanksgiving or Christmas, please contact Ed Keearns, 922-3832, or e-mail This email address is being protected from spambots.
