Cards are offered in denominations of $25, $50, and $100, and 5% of every sale goes to the parish as fundraising for our programs to help those in need.

Clothing donations

Help others, save the planet with your used clothing

For the use of our Parish Center site, we will receive a monthly payment of $100 for each bin. As we help others by donating clothing, we also help our Parish gain funds toward our Building Campaign.

Read this article from Daily Inbox to learn how donating your used clothing can make a big difference in helping those in need and saving the planet.
