The University of Wisconsin Bookstore has donated 500 heavy drawstring plastic bags to the Snack Pack Blessings program.
“We are most grateful to them,” said Georgine Jacobs, the program coordinator. “This contribution has saved the parish considerable snack pack funds that may have been used to purchased suitable bags.”
With the weekend food program's expansion to include the two middle schools, St. Bernard will be responsible for purchasing, packing and delivering 45 weekend bags to Glacier Creek Middle School.
Volunteers interested in being part of this special four-week team, (Dec. 5 - Jan. 3) should email Lisa Maly, our volunteer coordinator, at lmaly@madison.com or Jacobs at georgine.jacobs@gmail.com.
Please indicate if you are available to pack and/or deliver. This team will pack on two Thursdays at 5:30 p.m., and two Fridays at 8 a.m. Deliveries will follow at 8:40 on Friday mornings.
