Current Service & Outreach Opportunities
Day Before Thanksgiving Outreach
Wednesday, November 26, 2025
Join the parish and other Sacred Heart families to help out at the St. Moses the Black food pantry on the day before Thanksgiving.
This year, volunteers are needed from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm on Wednesday, November 26, 2025. We understand that some volunteers are not able to stay for the entire time, and that is fine. Come for as long as you are able.
** Note ** There have been some changes this year in the location of the food pantry at St. Moses the Black, so updated instructions will be sent out the week before about parking and where to go.
If you have questions, please email Liz McGowen or 847-446-0856 ext. 108.
