​Our goal is to put together 161 baskets this year, supporting three Detroit-area Catholic schools, C.A.R.E.S. Food Bank in Farmington and St. Dominic Outreach Center in Detroit.  There are three phases to our project:

1. Raising money to purchase items for the baskets. Suggested donation is $20, but any amount is accepted. Here is the link to donate: www.pushpay.com/g/stfabian, by November 14th.
2. ​Collecting non-perishable food by November 16th. Cans of yams (40 oz), carrots, green beans, corn, peas (all 14.7 oz), cranberry sauce (14 oz), turkey gravy (CANS ONLY, NO GLASS JARS, PLEASE) and boxes of corn muffin mix (8 oz), stuffing (6 oz), and mashed potatoes (13.7 oz).  There will be bins in the back of church, Religious Formation office and school classrooms for the items. Do you have students in our school? See below for grade-specific donations.
3. ​Assembly of baskets on November 20th (thank you, Youth Ministry Participants), and delivery of baskets on November 22nd. We need volunteers for delivery.  Please email Janice Sterling to volunteer: [email protected].

​
The gratitude expressed by both the families and the principals from the various organizations we support is overwhelming.  Your efforts touch other families in very personal ways by providing wonderful holiday meals.  If you have any questions, please contact the Religious Formation Office.

Thank you in advance and God bless,
