Once again, the food pantries of Pittsfield are collaborating as the Thanksgiving Angels to help those in need with their turkey and all the fixings. St. Joseph Parish, with the Salvation Army, are collecting packets of turkey gravy from McCormick, Knorr, or the store brand (not Bouillion) so that the weight of the packages is reduced. Last year, 1300 families were supplied with food for the holiday and the baskets will be distributed on November 20, 2017. We will need approximately 1200 packets from our parish which may be placed in the baskets at the doors of the church. You may also make a monetary donation for turkeys and other items throughout the holiday season. Place these donations in an envelope marked "St. Joseph Food Pantry" as either cash or check and place in the collection basket or mail to the office at 414 North St. Our clients appreciate your generosity. May your Thanksgiving be as blessed as you are making others as grateful.
