About
On the 1st and 2nd Sundays of each month a team of parishioners plans and prepares a hearty meal in our Holy Family Center Kitchen. After preparation, another team of volunteers transports the food to a warming center at Trinity Lutheran Church in Ohio City (near Ignatius High School) for distribution. Volunteers can participate throughout the year. If you’d like to sign up, please contact Al Weaver, below.
