Each year at Christmas the HSV Village Outreach program provides approximately 500 certificates for a pair of shoes to children in the Jessieville, Fountain Lake and Mountain Pine school districts. The certificates are funded by donations from many churches, individuals and organizations. Every year a decorated "shoebox" is placed in the hallway between the Narthex and the A & E area for donations. If you would like to make a donation, please place your cash or check in the box. Checks are made payable to Sacred Heart with "Shoe fund" on the memo line. Children tend to grow out of/wear out shoes quickly. Please be generous.
