This year, the parish’s "Snack Pack Blessings” program, which provides weekend food for Middleton Cross Plains Area School District students, begins Oct. 7. We are very short-handed on volunteer drivers. We are looking for a minimum of five more drivers to schedule on a four– to five-week rotation. Delivery is generally on Fridays from 8:45-9:15 a.m. (or the last day of the school week). St. Barnard Parish delivers to Northside, Kromrey and Elm Lawn. Each school uses an average of two totes carrying about five bags of weekend snacks for the children. If your schedule allows, we urgently request anyone of driving age with a vehicle to sign up. Please email georgine.jacobs@gmail.com or call/text 608-698-1455 by Oct. 3. Thank you to those who have already committed to helping with this worthy outreach into our community.
