If you know of any need at a particular location please send us the address and number of masks needed and we will be happy to ship or deliver them.
OLPH Food Pantry: The pantries latest need is lunchmeat and cheese for sandwiches for kids and Lunchables in addition to what you have been bringing which is still essential. If you bring those items by, please ring the Office bell so we can bring them Inside and refrigerate. Do not leave in the cart if no one answers. Our Lady of Perpetual Help is the local food bank for our area. The Food Pantry at Our Lady of Perpetual Help is hard at work giving out food to those in need on Wednesdays and Fridays. Normally, we contribute at least three grocery carts full of food each week from weekend Masses and various functions during the week.
Your donations are needed now more than ever!! To make it easier for you to donate, we will be rolling out the blue grocery carts to the front of Holy Family Church, Monday-Thursday from 9am to 4pm and Fridays, 8:30am to Noon (weather permitting). We will arrange to take your donations over to OLPH.
In order meet the safety needs of the clients and volunteers, food is being brought out directly to the clients cars. Volunteers are wearing homemade masks and rubber gloves.

ST. VINCENT DE PAUL SOCIETY: We are continuing to meet with families every week from our area who get emergency assistance from this fund, which is normally supported by donations to the poor boxes in our church. You can mail a check to support this fund, written out to “Holy Family” with “St. Vincent de Paul” on the memo line to “St. Vincent de Paul Society, c/o Holy Family Parish, 826 West Central Ave., Davidsonville, MD 21035.
Lighthouse Shelter: Light House Shelter is in desperate need of food and cleaning supplies. To better assist them we are asking that rather then buy the items you write a monetary check directly payable to Light House Shelter, 10 Hudson St., Annapolis MD 21401. This will allow them to buy the materials needed online.
Our Daily Bread: Our Daily Bread will be making the casseroles on site. They have picked two of the most affordable casseroles and will be making these on a daily basis. To feed 80 guests it will cost them 130.00 a day so they are asking for monetary donations. Catholic Charities has put in place a restricted donation so that all money made payable to Our Daily Bread Employment will go straight to feeding the guests. You can mail the check to Our Daily Bread Employment Center, 725 Fallsway, Baltimore, MD 21202. In addition they are in dire need of unopened bread and peanut butter.
Update on the collection on March 28th: Many thanks to all of you who donated bread and peanut butter for Our Daily Bread. We collected over 60 loaves of bread and 50 jars of peanut butter.
