ShareLife Donations Doubled Until the End of the Year

Every dollar you give to ShareLife will be doubled!
From November 3 until year end, your contribution to our parish’s ShareLife campaign will be matched by an anonymous donor up to a total of $500,000.  Too often, families face their struggles in silence, unseen and unheard – but thanks to your compassion, they are seen and heard. New data shows that many food bank visitors are working age and that one in four visitors is children. Through ShareLife’s Food Security Grants, parents find relief in knowing they can provide nourishing meals for their children, and seniors are able to live with dignity, free from the fear of hunger. These are just a few ways your love leads the way, bringing warmth, comfort, and renewed hope to those who need it most. 

Our goal this year is $25,000. To date we have achieved 18,565.00. Please give at the parish using a ShareLife envelope, online through our parish website, or at sharelife.org/donate.
