Volunteer

Food Drive (Saturday Masses)

Event Chair: James Cawley

DETAILS:

For detailed food-drive volunteer instructions, click HERE.

Arrive 40 minutes before the Mass you've volunteered for. 

Pick up a cash-collection envelope from the Flower Guild Room and the buckets from the Usher Closet. Use the envelope with the Knights of Columbus logo on it.

Place the buckets on the "half-walls" in front of the church doors (at St. Gregory Church)

The food bins will be in the veranda on the right (facing the church) unless it is the first Mass of the day.

Regarding food donations:

1. Please check the food items for their expiration dates prior to placing the food in the bins.
2. Simply fill the bins with the donated food, being careful NOT to overload them with weight. Please distribute the food such that the bins are full and not weighing more than 50 pounds.  We have plenty of bins to use.
3. Stack the food in the corner of the front of the church.

When Mass has started, collect the money from the buckets and place it in the Knights of Columbus envelope. NOTE: the bulk of the collections will be made AFTER the Mass so you must stay after Mass. After Mass collect the rest of the money from the buckets and put it in the envelope and put it in the Flower Guild Room, where you picked up the envelope.

AFTER MASS

If collecting from the 6:00 Saturday Mass:

1. If the collection is going to Saint Francis Center, SK Jim Cawley will arrive during Mass to load the food in his truck.
2. If the collection is going to Mercy Mission, specific directions will be given prior to that weekend.

Sunday

1. During the 11:00 Mass, food will be loaded onto the appropriate vehicle, depending on where the food is being delivered.
2. After the 5:00 Mass:
   • Food collection is light and shall be taken to the Ushers closet after Mass.
   • Return the monetary donation buckets to the cabinet in the Ushers closet.
   • SK Jim Cawley will take possession of cash envelope for counting and delivering to the Financial Secretary.
