These annual programs collect and provide food, clothing, and other items to benefit the needy in and around our community, as well as offer opportunities for our parishioners to volunteer in service to others. We offer care and support to a large number of the poor and unfortunate and wish to continue doing so with your help. Please check out the list below to see how and when you can participate in these amazing acts of charity!
For more information on these programs, please contact the Social Concerns Ministry office at socialconcerns@stlaurence.org or the individual contacts listed below.
This end of summer drive collects used shoes for shipment to third world countries through the Soles for Souls program. St. Laurence has provided over 3,500 pairs of shoes over the last few years.
The Used Shoe Drive is typically scheduled for mid-August. Check our SCM calendar, the bulletin, or website for information on dates and deadlines as well as volunteer opportunities.
Even in a time of a pandemic, with your help, we will be able to provide a Thanksgiving meal for approximately 400 families in need in our parish and community, including 100 meals for our sister parish, Queen of Peace. This year, due to COVID-19, we will collect monetary donations, and in turn, provide food gift certificates to the agencies and churches who will give them to their families most in need. The approximate cost of a complete holiday meal is $35.00, but we are thankful for any amount. Donation envelopes will be available in the SCM and parish office for the next few weeks and on the plaza the weekends of Oct. 17/18 and Oct. 24/25. Donations can also be made by clicking the "Donate to Share God's Bounty" button at the top of this page. Please contact Pennie at pdegroot@stlaurence.org if you have any questions.
Want to make a monetary donation by check? If so, make checks
payable to St. Laurence with SGB in the memo section. Donations can be dropped in the collection
basket at Mass in an envelope marked Social Concerns or mailed to:
