Blessed Sacrament Parish, through the Justice & Peace Committee and the St. Bernard Women’s Guild, is working with local social workers to provide their clients in need with school supplies and gift cards to purchase school supplies.
If you would like to donate gift cards, the social workers advised that the best cards are Walmart, Target, Kohl’s, Staples and Amazon and the most convenient increment is $25, but any size card is appreciated.
Please place gift cards in an envelope clearly labeled Justice and Peace School Supply Collection and drop in the collection basket at any Mass through August 12/13. Cards can also be purchased at our gift card sale the weekend of August 5/6 with pickup August 12/13.
Please email justiceandpeace@cath-comm.org with any questions.
If you would like to donate supplies, there are boxes marked “School Supply Collection” in both the St. Bernard & St. Matthew Church Halls for items to be dropped off through August 13th.
Some specific items that have been requested for older grades include: college ruled paper, college ruled composition books, binders, and solid color backpacks. No pencils or pencil sharpeners are needed.
If you have any questions, please email Jean at St.BernardWomen’sGuild@cath-comm.org
