St Jude Youth Athletic Committee Winter Sports Philanthropic Event

Cereal Donations for the Lord’s Pantry St Jude Youth Athletic Committee will be collecting boxes of cereal for the families who are served by The Lord’s Pantry. We will be collecting cereal in the gym from Friday January 13, 2012 until Friday January 27, 2012. All of the collections will be delivered to The Lord’s Pantry on January 28, 2012 by a group of coaches and athletes from St. Jude Parish. Our goal is to collect two boxes of cereal from every family currently participating in athletics at St. Jude; this would result in approximately 190 boxes of cereal for the Lords Pantry. Each participant is asked to bring two boxes of cereal to the gym from Friday January 13, 2012 until Friday January 27, 2012 and place it in the box near the concession area. If you have any questions please contact Dan McAllen @ 697-5931 Who: All participants in St Jude Athletic Ministry What: Bring 2 boxes of cereal for donation When: Between January 13, 2012 – January 27, 2012 Where: Bring your donation with you when you come to the gym for practice or a game – Coaches and participants will take them to the Lord’s Pantry on January 28th and help distribute them to families in need. The Lord’s Pantry serves 200+ families each Saturday morning. They typically hold back cereal for the families with kids. They never have enough cereal on a regular basis to give every client/family two boxes. Think about how normal it is for most of us to have a morning selection of cereal – most of the time it’s there when we want it… for some kids it’s a treat – something special – not something that is always there in the pantry. … whatever you do unto the least of them, you do unto me. (Matt 25: 40)
