Do you know that we use well over 2,000 plastic grocery bags every single week!?

That is nearly 10,000 per month, 120,000 per year, and our bin is just about empty!
Remember the Three Rs (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle). You will minimize garbage and promote sustainability when you donate your empty grocery bags every time you come home from the store. Simply drop off at any Catholic church here in the metro area, or bring directly to our door when we are open.
Pictured is our bag cage, custom built for our pantry a couple of years ago by our creative volunteers. Alarmingly, it is only about one third full right now.
You may donate any standard sized plastic grocery bags that are clean and usable. It's ok if they are extremely wrinkled, as long as they are clean and do not have gaping holes or ripped handles. Extra points if you double bag them!

Did You Plant A Row For MCO?

If you have garden produce that you would like to share with local families who need help with healthy food, we are ready for your donations!

Every Monday from 1:00pm - 2:00pm, we will have volunteers waiting at our dock to receive any of your garden bounty you would like to bring in. Getting it all fresh on Mondays allows us to sort and package your nutritious home-grown goodies for distribution to our neighbors in need on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays.

No need to call first if you are coming, just show up between 1:00 and 2:00. Please keep our Monday afternoon volunteers busy!

We had a great time Thursday evening when Magnificat Ministry women’s group gave service at our Green Prairie Garden. The rest of our seedlings are now planted, mulched, caged, & watered. Pole bean seeds are planted. Several areas are now w**d free & mulched. This was a great jump ahead on our garden task list. Thanks ladies for helping us feed our hungry neighbors fresh healthy produce!
