Warm Hearts
Winter Gear Drive

Warm Hearts Winter Gear Drive is a service project coordinated by Faith Formation students and families. Donations of purchased or like-new hats, gloves, socks, balaclavas, scarves, and hand- or toe-warmers for harsh Minnesota winters are collected in decorated bins on the ground level of the church for three weekends in November (7th/8th, 14th/15th, and 21st/22nd). The items are distributed directly to neighbors in need from the rectory service window or at the SVdP Outreach ministry. During the week, donations can also be brought to the rectory parish office. Handmade items are not as warm or weather-proof for neighbors.
