Families in Action
Families in Action provides frequent occasions for those in the St. Maximilian Kolbe community to assist local organizations that help our neighbors in need by making donations of new and used items and by sharing their talents and time as needed in the parish and the wider community. It is also an opportunity to spend time among others, of any age, who serve God by serving others.
Past projects include:
collecting laundry detergent for a local community cupboard
gathering to prepare the Church and gym for holiday liturgies
“adopting” families at Christmas time
gathering vases for fresh flower arrangements presented to a nursing home
church grounds cleanup
volunteering to read to vulnerable children at a local ministry center
annual Church Spring Cleaning
clearing snow for a homebound parishioner
making blankets for hospitalized children
collecting hams for distribution to financially challenged families at Easter
gathering play clothes, sunscreen and beach towels for a local free summer camp
Opportunities are posted in the bulletin, through the Weekly Wire and PREP correspondence. Participation is voluntary and as needed. All are welcome.
