The January Monthly Food Collection About Feeding Our Neighbors Feeding Our Neighbors is a united effort to fight hunger. This campaign is a response to Timothy Cardinal Dolan's call that we all do our part to replenish the food pantries and soup kitchens in our community, which so many families in our community rely on to survive. Sponsored by Catholic organizations throughout the Archdiocese of New York and managed by Catholic Charities, 100% of contributions to the campaign will support local food pantries that serve New Yorkers, non-catholics and Catholics alike. Organizational participants in Feeding Our Neighbors include all Archdiocesan Catholic schools, local parishes, the Catholic Youth Organization (CYO), the Archdiocesan Office of Religious Education, and the Catholic Charities Federation. There is just one goal for Feeding Our Neighbors: That New Yorkers answer the call to feed those who are suffering in our community We would like to ask all parishioners to participate in an extra food collection in January. We will receive nonperishable foods on the 3 rd weekend in January (January 16 th & 17 th ) after the Masses in the High School Cafeteria.
