St Vincent de Paul kicks off their annual Thanksgiving food drive

~SVDP

This weekend, November 2 & 3, St Thomas the Apostles’ St. Vincent de Paul’s Conference kicks off the SVDP Thanksgiving food drive.  We are asking our community to donate nonperishable food items (list attached) or money donations to prepare Thanksgiving food boxes for our local families who might not have a dinner without our assistance.

We also invite our community members to identify families by names, addresses and phone numbers (if available) and number in family who would benefit from a Thanksgiving food box to Pauline at 505-685-1153 or mail donations to:

St. Thomas the Apostle Parish PO Box 117, Abiquiu, NM 87510.
A receipt will be provided upon request.

SVDP will purchase turkeys and hams for the boxes. The collection of the food items will be after masses on November 17 with delivery on the 24th. 

Want to help or contribute? We will be gathering food items until the November 24,  at which time we will put together food boxes and make deliveries. If anyone wants to help organize the food in boxes, they are welcome to join us at the Parish Hall at 2:00 pm.
 
SVDP helps everyone in need regardless of their religion, gender, political beliefs, etc. Anyone in need just has to call Pauline at the Parish Office and we will follow up with assistance.
