A Christmas collection for families in need is done annually in partnership with Linda’s Legacy-Giving Back. For more information, please contact JEFF CULLEN.
Backpack Drive
Linda’s Legacy/Giving Back
Support Our Backpack Drive!
Each backpack contains a hoodie, thermal underwear, socks, ski gloves, a knit hat, and a handmade Christmas card to be distributed to homeless men, women, and children on the streets of Baltimore & Washington, DC on Christmas Eve. The cost to sponsor a backpack is $25. A complete backpack costs $25, but any amount is a great help. Checks can be made to Giving Back-Linda’s Legacy and sent to the parish office. Donations can also be made online using ONLINE GIVING (use Fund=Linda’s Legacy). Thank you for your support!
