Our 11th Annual Lenten Food Drive ended today with a record breaking 102,000 cans/dollars of food for the food insecure, working poor of Washington, who we are privileged to serve at 9 food pantries each month throughout the year.
Many thanks to Shrine of the Most Blessed Sacrament, Church of the Annunciation, Cathedral of St. Matthew the Apostle, St. Ann’s Tenley Circle, St. Augustine, and St. Thomas Apostle, all in the District.
Also thanks to St. Peter’s, Olney; St. Paul, Damascus; Our Lady of Mercy, Potomac; Resurrection, Burtonsville; St. Jerome, Hyattsville; St. Mary’s, Rockville; and Our Lady of Grace, St. Bernadette, and St. Andrew the Apostle, all in Silver Spring.
Finally, we thank Archbishop Carroll, Washington; Elizabeth Seton, Bladensburg; and Academy of the Holy Cross, Kensington.
All of the parishes and high schools met and exceeded their goal and all our pantries are currently fully stocked. We are grateful to all of them for taking this journey of faith in action with us.
