Welcome to Sponsor a Family
Thanksgiving 2024

The Sponsor a Family Committee invites you to participate in our annual food initiative. Our 2023 food drive was incredibly successful thanks to all our sponsors! The Thanksgiving 2024 format will mirror last year’s with donations of gift cards which are evenly distributed to each receiving parish.

Our goal remains the same: aiding our neighbors at Our Lady of Loretto in Hempstead and Queen of the Most Holy Rosary in Roosevelt who are especially challenged by today’s high cost of living, particularly food.

  • Returning sponsors, simply drop off your donation, [see below], the committee will record all donations.

 

  • New sponsors, let us know if you would like to sponsor a family of 4, 6, or 8. Contact: saf5thstreet@gmail.com

 

  • Purchase Stop and Shop gift cards for either a family of 4, 6, or 8
  • Place cards in an envelope with your name and the family size included on the front

 

  • Mail or deliver the cards to Anna Sirianni, Parish Social Ministry, 120 Fifth Street, Garden City 11530 or St. Joseph’s Rectory, 130 Fifth Street, Garden City 11530 by November 11th.


All cards are kept in a secure location and delivered to the receiving parishes by the Sponsor a Family Committee.

We recommend the following dollar amounts for gift cards based on family size; of course, all contributions are gratefully accepted. The committee is happy to combine donations to fulfill a family goal.
Family of 4: $150
Family of 6: $175
Family of 8: $200

Many thanks,
The Sponsor a Family Committee
