Pack with Purpose

September’s Pack with Purpose will be serving those in Assisted Living Facilities in our community.  We will be collecting candy and snacks to make “Reverse Halloween” bags.  “Reverse Halloween” bags will be decorated for Halloween and contain treats from children (and adults) to give to the elderly.  What a great way to show our elders that we care about them!
Items in need:  
Bags of Halloween Candy  (please avoid peanuts) Snack size bags of cheezits, graham crackers, pretzels, or cookies 
(Only recently purchased and in original packaging food items can be accepted) 

We will have a special packing session for this collection on Monday, October 10th @ 630pm in St. Joe Hall.  Adults and Kids are invited to come in their Halloween costume and there will be treats for all! 
  

Packing date for Pack with Purpose September will be Monday, September 12th at 6:30pm in St. Joe Hall. All are welcome!

Thank you so much for your overwhelming generosity with this new ministry. For the past 4 collections, SJTW has donated: 

• 54 “Welcome Home Kits” to Touchstone Mental Health 
• 50 “Birthday Bags” to CROSS Food Services 
• 21 “New Mom Kits” to Sharing & Caring Hands 
• 35 "Personal Care Kits" to Missions Inc/Home Free

You are making a difference.

Packing date for these kits will be Monday, June 6th @ 6:30pm in St. Joe Hall.  All are welcome, we'd love to have you!

It's safe to say our first Pack with Purpose was a success!! Thank you to all those who donated and all those who came to pack. We were able to give 54 completed "Welcome Home" baskets to Touchstone Mental Health! If you'd like to join in the fun next time, come to St. Joseph Hall on Monday, April 25 at 6:30 pm. We will be packing Birthday Bags for CROSS. Donations for this pack can be left in the Pack with Purpose bin in the Faith Formation Gathering Space.
