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 Christmastime
- 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
