The Food Basket Ministry of Sacred Heart delivers Thanksgiving and Christmas food to families in our area who have been identified by Fountain Lake and Jessieville school counselors. In order to make these deliveries, we ask for volunteers to contact their assigned family and shop for food to provide for a nice holiday meal. Volunteers are then reimbursed, up to a budgeted amount, determined by family size. To be able to reimburse our volunteers, we ask for your donation during the special collection the weekend of October 26/27. If you would like to help, or with questions, please email foodbasket.shj@gmail.com. Thank you for your time and monetary donations.

Just a reminder that Sacred Heart offers Electronic Giving. You can make donations online charging them to a credit card or debiting directly from your bank account. We hope this makes it easier for our parishioners to contribute. Here's how to set it up:
1. Visit the church website at
http://www.hsvsacredheart.com/
2. Locate the Give Online/IRA/Stocks link on the left side of the home page, then follow instruc-tions to create your online profile and schedule your recurring contributions. Profile will include setting up a password and the credit card or bank account you prefer to use. After that, you'll just need the password to enter.
3. The next page will include all contributions you may choose to make. You can select monthly, weekly or a one-time contribution. We suggest that your Regular and Building Fund contributions be done monthly on the same date each month, preferably the 5th or the 15th, to make it easier for accounting and to reduce charges to the Church. The envelope contributions will be listed along with the date on the envelope. This will enable you, if you wish, to schedule all of your contributions for the year at one time.
We recommend that you save the Giving Page in your Favorites to make it easier to access. If you need help or have any questions, please contact Larry Stein at 501-226-5105 or 501-204-9074.
