You’ve probably wondered how to make a difference in your community. At Holy Family Church, we run regular donation drives to help Patchway neighbors facing tough times. It’s simple: bring non-perishable food, warm clothes, or hygiene items to our church hall. No special skills needed—just your willingness to help.
Last month, your donations filled 30 food parcels for local families. We also collected 50 winter coats for people staying in shelters. These small acts add up to real change. When you drop off a bag of rice or a coat, you’re helping a neighbor stay warm and fed. You don’t need to give a lot—just what you can spare.
We’re collecting for our next drive on Saturday, October 28th. Drop off items at the church entrance from 9 AM to 1 PM. We’ll have volunteers ready to help you. No need to RSVP—just show up with what you can spare. Even a single can of soup helps. We’re especially in need of canned beans, blankets, and toothpaste right now.
Why does it matter? Because when we all chip in, we build a stronger Patchway. Last year, our donation drives served over 200 people through meals and supplies. When Sarah dropped off 10 cans of soup last month, it helped feed a family of four for a week. Your coat, your canned goods, your time—it all counts. You’re not just giving stuff; you’re giving hope. And it’s not just about the items. When you show up, you’re part of a community that cares. So next time you’re wondering how to help, just bring what you can. You’ll see the difference you make—right here in Patchway.
