This summer, Holy Family needs help to feed children, families, and other individuals in need of a meal through its Summer Bites lunch program. Every Tuesday, from June 9 to August 18, Holy Family will provide hundreds of meals to be distributed at several locations throughout the city. The goal of the program is to reach all who are in need of food, particularly children and families who rely on school meals, by offering free bag lunches at every corner of our community. To provide these meals, the parish needs your help! Over the next few weeks, Holy Family will collect donations of specific items to pack lunches. Donations can be dropped off at the Holy Family Parish Office, 271 Fourth Street Way. The parish will collect the following items beginning on the listed weekends:

May 23-24: Fruit cups, applesauce cups, and boxes of raisins
May 30-31: 8 oz. bottles of water and juice boxes
