Can and Bottle Recycling for the Youth
The weekend of October 28-29, we will hold a monthly recycling event where you can bring your empty bottles and cans to St. Ambrose and we will recycle them. The deposit proceeds from these recycling efforts will go towards our youth programming. Watch the bulletin for more details!

Canned and boxed foods of many kinds are given to SVDP to share.

Lots of fresh, nutritious food also available through SVDP.
First Weekends of the Month
Help Those in Need by Donating Items to SVDP
September 2 & 3 and September 30 & October 1
The baskets near the altar will be ready to receive your foods that don’t need refrigeration, or items to clean homes and bodies – or cash gifts to help SVDP buy what’s most needed today for the pantries.
Thank you for sharing this way around the First Sunday every month!
