St. Mark Sandwich squad is open to everyone - parishioners and non-parishioners, members of parish organizations, and those who are not members of any parish organization. All volunteers are welcome and can assist/help in some manner.
Volunteers meet after the 8:00 am Mass on the Second, Third, and Fourth Saturday of every month in the Parish Hall. They make approximately 200 sack lunches which are donated to Casa Maria Soup Kitchen in Tucson, AZ. Each sack lunch contains a meat and cheese sandwich, a cheese sandwich, a baggie filled with chips, a baggie with cookies, and a banana.
Join us on the Second, Third, and Fourth Saturday of each month, or for more information fill out the form on the right-hand side and someone will contact you.
UPDATE: Congratulations to our generous parishioners. Since we started this project last year, we have collected over 34,000 PB&J sandwiches for Casa Maria. The need continues to exist.
Sandwich Dropoff Hours:
Tuesdays & Fridays 7:30 AM TO 11:00 AM
There will be a Sandwich Collection Table outside of the Church.
Please follow clean techniques, place the PB&J sandwiches into an individual Ziploc bag, then place them into the loaf wrapper. Also starting immediately, as the temperatures are getting warmer, we cannot safely accept refrigerated/perishable items, such as Yogurt, at the outdoor table.
In addition, there is a need for sneakers or sturdy shoes, no heels or dress shoes. A labeled box for the shoes will be under the sandwich collection table.
Our drivers, as well as the Saturday Sandwich Squad, can use some occasional help. If you would like to help, please enter your information on the form to the left.
Thank You,
The Works of Mercy Council
