We hold two drives annually to collect donations for our SJE St. Vincent de Paul Food Pantry, The Northwest Indiana Food Bank, St. Edward's Migrant Ministry Food Pantry, St. Joseph's Helping Hands and other local organizations. Bags and suggested donation lists are distributed after Mass and collected the following weekend.
