Join the Parish Lenten Program PROJECT SHARE. We recognize our individual abundance and resolve to share that abundance with those less fortunate. All ages can participate, and families are encouraged to work together to each find something to donate. 

THE PLAN: During Lent set aside items to "share" (donate) to those who utilize our "Shepherd's Gate Food Pantry and the St. Vincent DePaul ministry. They will be invited to attend and select items on Saturday,
April 18, 9am-12pm. These items will be offered completely free to them. Then, starting at noon, anyone from the parish or community can come to shop. All remaining items, after 2pm, will be donated to local charities.
WHAT’S ACCEPTED: cookware, dishware, flatware, glassware, sheets, comforters, towels, baby items, toys, games, small appliances (such as toasters, hand mixers, coffeemakers), small tables, lamps, chairs. 
CLOTHING: ONLY if in clean condition with no holes, stains, or damage. Newer shoes.
WE CANNOT ACCEPT: undergarments; adult swimsuits; house slippers; DVDs, CDS, cables or extension cords; electronics or personal technology items; large furniture items; sleeping bags; sleeping pillows; and NO adult books of any type. Please keep baby and child items separate from adult items.
