The Saint Rose Social Justice Committee wants to thank all parishioners for generously donating $1,054 for this year's Lenten almsgiving! Our almsgiving is each year donated to a charitable cause and this year the money will go to Second Harvest Heartland.
Second Harvest Heartland serves Minnesota and parts of Wisconsin as a food bank and more. Last year, they distributed more than 113 million pounds of food—107 million meals—to various community partners supporting hunger-relief. Of the 107 million meals distributed, more than 62% was fresh, including meats, produce, bakery and dairy items. In addition to providing nutritious meals, Second Harvest Heartland is an advocate and innovator of positive change with the mission to work with others to "End Hunger Together".
