Loaves & Fishes at St Teresa

Today SHIP relies upon the generous donations of food, time, and energy by local groups willing to conduct food drives for SHIP.  Organizations wishing to participate can contact SHIP to determine its current essential needs.  Various "theme drives" are now in the planning stages.  Example themes include:

• Breakfast Drive (Cold cereals, instant oatmeal, etc)
• Protein Drive (Canned meats)
• Beverage Drive (Bottled juices, coffee, ice tea/lemonade mixes, etc)
• Vegetable Drive (Canned potatoes, peas, carrots, etc)

Please contact SHIP via email to determine the current essential needs.
