The holiday break brings joy to many families, but for the vulnerable teens we serve, it brings uncertainty and hunger. Close to 150 young people in our parish rely on school meals as their only consistent source of nutrition. Many are couch surfing, living in cars, or trying to piece together safety on their own. When schools close, their safety net disappears. That’s why we’re launching a Gift Card Drive to provide food and essentials throughout the break.

With SNAP benefits suspended due to the government shutdown, families across our community face an immediate crisis. Your donation will purchase Walmart gift cards that we'll distribute directly to at-risk students and families who need food assistance right now.
