The fact is: Families find themselves buying cheaper and less nutritious food, or cutting meals out of their diet, just to make ends meet. Increasing all the time, this pattern leads to chronic malnutrition, affecting children and families in profoundly destructive ways.With your help, Sacred Heart of Jesus can help these local families through our Food Baket Program. Any donation in the second collection at the Masses this weekend, October 28/29, will be channeled to this program to provide food for families at Thanksgiving and Christmas, and hopefully at other times throughout the year. Checks should be made payable to Sacred Heart with "Food Basket Fund" in the reference line.
Thank you for your continued support in this most worthwhile fundraiser.
