The Knights of Columbus, Respect Life Ministry, and the Women of the Word will be having a fundraiser for the Caring Network from Saturday, October 19 to Sunday, October 27. Caring Network is part of the Kalamazoo Diocese Catholic Charities organization: https://ccdok.org/caring-network
Caring Network serves hundreds of pregnant and parenting women each year. They do this all for free. We will be collecting items that they are in need of including: diapers (sizes 4, 5, and 6), pull-ups (Sizes 3T-4T and 4T-5T), wipes, formula, clothing for newborns and infants (up to 5T), baby lotion, baby wash. There will be two playpens in the Narthex where you can drop off the items. You can bring your items anytime between October 19 and October 27.
We will also have a "baby bottle" fundraiser for the Caring Network. On October 19/20 after Masses, the baby bottles will be available to take home and fill them with coins and cash. You will then return them on October 26/27. If you would rather just write a check, envelopes will be available (please make checks payable to Catholic Charities Caring Network).
