CANNED FOOD DRIVE

National Catholic Society of Foresters' (NCSF) Home Office will be collecting canned food donations for St. Raymond de Penafort's Backpack Ministry.

From November 26 to December 7, NCSF will gladly accept all canned chili, soup, stew, fruits, vegetables, meats, and fish. Standard size cans are best, no larger than 15 oz. All brands and varieties accepted. Thank you so much for your support!

Looking to make a monetary donation? NCSF will accept checks or credit card donations for the Backpack Ministry. To donate by check: Make out to National Catholic Society of Foresters; write Backpack Ministry in notes. Mail your check to: 320 S. School Street, Mount Prospect, IL 60056. To donate by credit card please call 847-342-4500 ext. 205

The Backpack Ministry delivers up to 50 bags of food each week to local students in need.  The food in their backpacks help bridge the gap over the weekend when some families struggle and they don’t have enough to eat.  By providing extra meals and snacks, these students are ready to learn on Monday - nourished and healthy.
