FOOD DRIVE & “TALE OF THE TAPE” UPDATE
We want to send you our sincerest praise for this year’s food drive. Our goal this year was ambitious with 3,000 individual food items to be collected amongst the four competing houses. The staff at Our Lady of Sorrows School is overwhelmed by the tremendous generosity of the community. This year, we raised a total of 3,250 individual food items for our Parish food bank, far surpassing our goal. An overwhelming sense of gratitude for all of you during this time of Thanksgiving. A special thanks to the Cavallo family for their large donation, as well as many of our families whose generosity went above and beyond! Congratulations to the Blue team donating close to 2,000 individual items!
