Match Your Giving to St Francis
A special thank you to the St. Francis families for their donations to St. Francis through the Employees of Northrop Grumman Political Action Committee (ENGPAC). If your company has a Political Action Committee (this is separate and distinct from the matching gift program) please consider St. Francis as a recipient - this is one of the few programs that allow contributions to religious organizations - it is often referred to as a "PAC'" match. You would need to contact your government relations department to see if your company participates. Contact Elaine Mistele in the church office for more information.
