Feeding the Hungry; Nourishing the Soul
The St. Lucy Food Drive, led by our Knights of Columbus and Nativity volunteers, directly supports Catholic Charities in providing food to the nearly 200,000 people (including almost 75,000 children) in the Diocese who do not know where their next meal will come from.
Our Next Food Drive
When: Saturday, February 10 | 9:00 am—1:00 pm
Where: Nativity Parish Parking Lot
The St. Lucy truck will be parked at the rear of the church parking lot nearest Old Keene Mill Road (like in the October drive). During that time, you can drive to the truck and our team will take any donations from your vehicle (please place your donations in your trunk for safe and easy removal).
Catholic Charities will also accept monetary donations, including grocery gift cards (Giant, Safeway, etc.); any donation is welcome! Please make checks out to CCDA, with “St. Lucy Project” in the memo line.
Volunteer! We can always use help with loading donations; if you’d like to volunteer, please sign up here. Or help hand out the blue bags after Mass on February 3 & 4 by signing up here.

Blue bags for donations will be handed out after every Mass during the weekend before our next St. Lucy’s Food Drive.
