Highland Food Pantry
To meet the needs of the Highland Food Pantry, a new system has been created.
We are asking parishioners to donate tubes of toothpaste.
To ensure we have enough product to serve all our clients, 35-50 of any given item is needed on the menu so no one is slighted. The requested item may change month to month.
All Food donations will still gladly be accepted and needed.
