2018 Holiday Food Drive a Success!
Thanks to everyone who supported the 2018 Holiday Food Drive. Michelle Orlando and Joe Borges, co-chairs, reported that we surpassed the goals they had for the drive! The total weight of food collected collected was 2095 LBS, this is 1125 LBS over last year-WOW! Also collected was a total of $2610.99 in cash donations-this is $810 more than last year.
Society helps those in need
Before the news of the closing of St. Anne’s church was announced, the parish was faced with another challenge. Earlier this fall, somebody stole funds from the church’s food pantry donation cash box.
When word reached the Prince Henry Society of Fall River, the Humanitarian and Relief Committee responded with a request to the members for a donation. The members approved a donation which exceeded the amount lost.
The check was presented on October 13 by committee chairs Joe Borges and Michelle Orlando, Society president Bob Medeiros and other members.
Congratulations to the New Officers
