Well, despite the weather, we are still here serving warm hot lunches. It is so nice to have a quieter time after the hectic holiday season. We had a wonderful "sock give away" for Valentine's Day and everyone received two new pairs of socks.
Thanks to Cara Owens Girl Scout Troop for making and passing out snack bags to our community this month. They really enjoyed them.
This week we have 3 students from Carroll College in Helena, Montana doing a week of service work. They come to us through a program run by the Srs of St. Joseph. They are a great help. Thanks Jake, Amy and Whitney.
Keep us in your prayers and lets hope Spring comes soon.
We are so grateful for all those who made our Holiday Season wonderful. From the Parishes who collected towel sets for our regular lunch program participants, those who provided much needed items for our Christmas Meal, individuals and church groups who collected toys for our Children's Toy Store and even John who played Santa for us during our gift give a-way, a big and hearty Thank You.
We are almost there! We have just a few short weeks (until January 6, 2014) to raise as much funding as we can through our Annual Campaign. Our goal is to raise $60,000.00 this year. With our operating budget around $130,000.00 our Newsletter/Campaign is our only yearly Appeal. In our efforts use the monies we do receive for the benefit of those we serve, keeping our mailings to once a year and blogging any important information on our website helps us stretch our funding. It also keeps you from being bombarded by our solicitations. If you would like to be on our mailing list for the future, please email us your address and we will be happy to include you in our Newsletter/Campaign Appeal next fall. We are over the half way mark for 2013! Spread the word! We need your help! If you can spare even a little, it would help us greatly. A BIG thanks to all who have donated already, we would not be here without you.
