FOOD COLLECTION FOR APRIL

Thank you for your food donations last month.  This is the report on our contribution to Servant's Heart in Beech Grove, serving Perry Township and Beech Grove families and individuals. It was a pretty busy day (March 9) at Servant's Heart, but fortunately we had about 15 workers, some other volunteers and Roncalli students to staff the pantry and serve the 50 families we had that day.
