Given these challenging economic times, your donations are greatly appreciated by residents of our Howard County community and the greater Baltimore area. 

• Monetary donations are also appreciated. Pick up empty boxes in the narthex the weekend of November 4 and 5.
• Filled boxes should be returned to church the following weekend, November 11 and 12.
• To ensure that the boxes are distributed timely, boxes MUST BE RECEIVED BY NOON on November 13.

If you cannot fill a box, please consider donating. All monetary donations are equally split between the organizations that we support:

St. Veronica Parish
St. Wenceslaus Parish
Howard County Salvation Army
Elkridge Food Pantry
Phelps Luck Elementary School
Franciscan Center
OLPH Food Pantry

All donations are appreciated.
No amount is too small; on average, a filled box of food and check is valued at approximately $50.00.
