Assumption Church Turkey & Ham Donations

A message from our friends at Assumption Church:


"Would you be interested in helping a needy family have a happier Thanksgiving? Our Lady of the Angels Mission on the west side is in need of frozen turkeys or hams for families for their Thanksgiving Day meals.


Assumption Church's Men's Group is coordinating a Turkey Drop to meet this need. Please bring a frozen turkey or ham on Sunday morning, November 24th, to Assumption. Drivers will be parked in front of the church at 323 W Illinois Street to receive the donations and rush them to Our Lady of the Angels. Dropoff times are 15 minutes prior to masses: 7:30am, 9:00am, 10:30am and 12:15pm. Happy Thanksgiving to all."
