Pack with Purpose

March’s Pack with Purpose will be responding to the needs of our Veterans at Haven 4 Heroes.  “Haven for Heroes’ mission is to provide a place of safety and refuge for Veterans and/or their family members who, for whatever reason, need assistance.” The community at Haven 4 Heroes holds our veterans, who have selflessly served our country, in the highest regard. The goal is rebuilding and rejuvenating so they may live the life they desire and so richly deserve.   

If you’d like to learn more, all are welcome to our packing session on Monday, April 3rd at 6:30pm in St. Joe Hall.  We will have a representative from Haven 4 Heroes to speak to us about their program and answer any questions.  If you’d like to contribute to their most needed items, please drop off any of the following items in the Pack with Purpose bin in the Faith Formation gathering space. Items will be collected during the month of March. Please contribute full size items.
