Thank you to all who praticipated in the 2015 Sacred Heart Basket Program! Without the many parishioners who contributed money to the basket fund and the shoe fund, effort in delivering the baskets, help in getting and distributing food from Project Hope and giving presents from the Angel Tree, we could not help our neighbors in need. Here are a few interesting statistics.
During the 2015 calendar year, we delivered 43 baskets at Easter, 22 during the summer, 46 at Thanksgiving, and 63 at Christmas for a total of 174 baskets. The families receiving the 174 baskets included 458 children with a total of 649 people helped.
We received a $12,230 in donations to the basket fund during 2015, and $999 in donations to the Village Outreach Shoe Fund.
At Christmas we gave 468 presents, most of which were from the Angel Tree, and 151 shoe certificates to the children in the families receiving baskets.
Approximately 65 volunteers delivered the baskets at Thanksgiving and Christmas, may of whom delivered for both holidays.
Thanks again for your continued, dedicated support in helping with this program!
