The Lourdes St. Vincent de Paul Society recognizes that many families won’t be able to afford a Thanksgiving meal. That is why they are organizing a Thanksgiving meal food drive. Parishioners and donors are asked to contribute ingredients for a holiday meal and drop it off at or after all of the Masses this weekend (November 12 and November 13).
Please help by purchasing the following items that provide a meal. These ingredients need to be brought to Lourdes in a labeled cardboard box or a canvas or plastic tote bag.
• 1 can cranberry sauce
• 2 boxes macaroni and cheese (2 six oz. boxes or 1 twelve oz.)
• 2 boxes Jiffy cornbread mix (8.5 oz. size)
• 1 box Stovetop stuffing (6 oz. size)
• 1 can cream of mushroom soup, 2 cans green beans ( 14. 5 oz.), and 1 container French’s onions (2.8 oz.) [to make green bean casserole]
• 1 jar of turkey gravy (12 oz.)
• 1 box instant mashed potatoes (16 oz.)
• 1 non-perishable dessert, i.e. cookies, candy, etc.
• 1 can spiced pumpkin pie mix (spiced – 30 oz.), 1 can Carnation evaporated milk (5 oz.), and 1 large graham cracker pie crust
