Thank you to all who participated in the 2016 Sacred Heart Basket Program! Without the many parishioners who contributed money to the basket fund and shoe fund, those who delivered the baskets, volunteer help in getting and distributing food from Project Hope, and those who provided presents from the Angel Tree, we would not be able to help our neighbors in need.

These are a few interesting statistics.  During 2016 we delivered 36 baskets at Easter, 28 during the summer, 48 at Thanksgiving and 52 at Christmas for a total of 164 baskets. The families receiving the 164 baskets included 437 children - for a total of 579 people.

We received $10,050 in donations to the basket fund during 2016 and $1,478 in donations to the Village Outreach Shoe Fund.  At Christmas we gave 456 presents, most of which were from the Angel Tree, and 127 shoe certificates to the children in the families receiving baskets.  Lastly, about 91 volunteers delivered the baskets, many of whom delivered more than one basket.  Thanks again for your continued, dedicated support in helping with this program!
