FOOD DRIVE.

We are collecting non-perishable food items for The Salvation Army’s pantry here in Oroville. We started the first weekend in March and will continue collecting food through the month of April. Sharing food with the those most vulnerable in our community is a work of mercy we are called to do by the Gospel. Thank you for your generosity and may God bless you and yours during this time of reflection.
