Fall Food Drive
November 1-2 | Before and after all weekend Masses
This fall, Saint Ambrose Catholic Community will once again come together to support those in need through our annual Fall Food Drive, led by our Outreach Ministry in collaboration with our 6th, 7th, and 8th grade Saint Ambrose Catholic School students.
During the weekend of November 1–2, parishioners are invited to bring non-perishable food and personal care items to the collection tables in the commons before or after all weekend Masses. Volunteers and students will be on hand to receive donations and help distribute them to local partners.
Donations will directly support:
- Open Cupboard, serving families facing food insecurity, and
- Catholic Charities Dorothy Day Center in St. Paul, through To Be Truly Seen, our parish ministry serving people who are homeless.
The weekend prior, October 25–26, brown paper grocery bags will be distributed after all Masses. Each bag will include hand-drawn instructions created by our middle school students and a list of most-needed items. Please return your filled bag the following weekend, November 1–2.
Most Needed Items
- Peanut butter
- Canned meat (chicken, tuna)
- Cereal
- Paper grocery bags (for Open Cupboard)
- Soap
- Deodorant
- Toothpaste / Toothbrushes
- Body lotion
- Body wash
- Shampoo

Thank you for your generosity and for helping our Saint Ambrose Catholic Community support those in our local community.
