| In 2008 we packed just over 80 personal size hygiene kits with items donated from our parishioners. They were delivered to IHN and Epiphany Church to be distributed to families in need throughout the year. |
|
| Also in 2008 through the generosity of our parishioners, we provided food and Christmas gifts for three IHN families. Each family received a basket of nonperishable food, paper products and cleaning supplies plus several gift cards from Giant Eagle and local discount stores. Each family member had five gifts to open on Christmas Day including toys, clothes, shoes and household items. Our Family PSR group was instrumental in helping provide gifts for these families. |
|
| Thank you to all who helped make this possible and many thanks for your continued generosity! |
