Support the Wynnton Neighborhood Network
March is St. Thomas' designated month to donate food and other necessary items to the Wynnton Neighborhood Network (WNN). Parishioners can pick up an empty bag in the Narthex to fill with these items, or can purchase a pre-filled bag for $15.00. Please make checks payable to Wynnton Neighborhood Network. In 2010, Wynnton Neighborhood Network--with your help!--assisted 3,351 families, which included almost 3,500 children. Join us again this March in supporting this wonderful and beneficial ministry! | |
