Please join us in the supply drive for this important but unknown issue. Period Poverty is the struggle to afford period products and the subsequent negative impact it has on the daily lives of those who menstruate.  

We are collecting items May 14- May 29 in the Narthex or Parish Office.

What we need:

• Pads of all sizes
• Packs of underwear
• Financial Donations (drop in collection or parish office)

In partnership with Catholic Charities Empowering Women for Success, Saint Catherine Labouré through our Catherine’s Cupboard collections is proud to be a site for their annual supply drive, bringing awareness about this very important, and unknown issue.

Period Poverty is the struggle to afford period products and the subsequent negative impact it has on the daily lives of those who menstruate. No student should have to miss school. No adult should have to miss work. No person should have to miss out on daily life because they are unable to afford the basic necessities they require to thrive.

Catholic Charities Empowering Women for Success is a program dedicated to supporting immigrant and refugee women, easing their transition to new lives. Join us in supporting their mission to provide supplies which address the immediate needs of their clients, creating space in their lives for learning and personal growth.

Financial contributions will also be accepted. Checks may be made to Catholic Charities. We thank you in advance for helping advance this important conversation.

As we begin the Lenten season, CCW invites all to share in providing Easter   meals and the message of Easter Hope to our larger community.  Your donations of $10.00 grocery Gift Cards (Giant, Weis, or Walmart), or financial donations in any amount are being collected for distribution.  The smaller denomination gift cards are requested to make distribution to individuals easier.

Donations may be placed in the collection basket, mailed to, or dropped off at the parish office.  Please be sure to write “CCW Easter Project” on the outside envelope.  Donations will be accepted through Saturday, April 9.

Beneficiaries of your generosity include The Silence of Mary Home, St. Francis of Assisi Church, and the Interfaith Shelter, where Easter meals and community assistance will be provided.

Additionally, we will be collecting your messages of hope and community.  Please stop by the display in the narthex to write or sign a note to be included with the donations. 

If other arrangements are needed, please contact KC Torta at kcvidaloca@verizon.net or 717.561.2850.  Thank you for your generosity.
