Each year Sacred Heart of Jesus delivers food to needy families in the Fountain Lake, Jessieville and Mountain Pine areas for the holidays.  Last year we delivered 60 baskets for Christmas alone.  The food 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 COLLECTION next weekend, November 12/13.  There will be a second collection at Mass-just put your check in the collection basket.  If you miss the opportunity, you can also mail your check donation to Jim Schmidt, 2 Cetero Circle.  Please make your check payable to Sacred Heart and on the memo line, please write "food basket fund."  This is necessary to identify the basket donations from Regular Collections.

According to the United States Census, approximately 22% of individuals in Garland COunty live in poverty.  Thank you for your generous donations in the past.  Please continue to help us to help our less fortunate.

If you can deliver a basket at either Thanksgiving and/or Christmas, please contact Ed Keearns, 922-3832 or e-mail This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..  The delivery can be made anytime 10 days prior to the holiday.  Please help if you can.
