HARVEST Food Donations

p
The first Sunday of each month is HARVEST SUNDAY at All Saints.
You are invited to bring donations of non-perishable food items to Mass and place them in the bins in the Gathering Space. On Mondays, the food is delivered to one of the food shelves that serves Lakeville – either 360 Communities located at Messiah Lutheran Church or The Open Door Southern Mobile Pantry warehouse in Apple Valley.
