St. Benedict Neighborhood Outreach.
During June, we will be accepting donations for the Apostleship of the Sea.
We will assemble care packages for those who served at
10:00am on Saturday, June 27th, in the Hall.
Please donate the following items: men’s socks, toiletries, razors, puzzle

Food Pantry

Please continue your donations to our food pantry. The Transformation Center (TC) in Brooklyn on 4th Street has been faithfully picking up our contributions and is deeply grateful for the generosity we’ve shown. They distribute food each Saturday from 9:00 am to 11:00 am to over 100 needy people. Their volunteers come to St. A’s to transport our donations to their site. Your ongoing support truly makes a difference!

Items needed: dry goods, canned goods, peanut butter, jelly, baby food, infant formula diapers and wipes.

Bulldog Buddies

A huge thank you to all who donated food this school year. As the school year is winding down, we have enough food to get us to the end of the school year. Your continued support of children enrolled at Curtis Bay Elementary School is much appreciated.
