Fleece Blankets
We will be tying larger fleece blankets for kids who are without a home and might be sleeping in shelters – or even in their cars.

Blessing Bags
These are Ziploc bags filled with things that we take for granted but can make all the difference in the world if you are homeless.

Badger Honor Flight Letters
We will be writing letters to those going on Badger Honor Flights, thanking them for their service.

Each project was chosen with the Catholic Church’s Works of Mercy in mind – so in addition to everything we are doing – we will be praying for each person who might benefit from the projects.
That means when you finish a blanket – we’ll have a prayer for you to say for the child who will use it.
When you finish a blessing bag – we’ll have a prayer for you to say for the person who will receive it.
Volunteers

See the VOLUNTEER section.  Volunteer check-in on the day of the event again will be centrally located near Ticket Sales and First-Aid. The HELP OF OUR WHOLE PARISH COMMUNITY IS NEEDED – WITH YOUR HELP, WE CAN ALL have a ton of fun!
