Everyone can help in some way—please make a difference in the life of another.

Calling all Cooks

We would like to fill our freezer space with casseroles that can be given to a family in a time of need. If you would like to contribute to our collection, please use an aluminum baking (disposable--oven friendly) pan and cover the dish with foil listing the type of casserole (i.e. lasagna), the date it was prepared and any reheating instructions. We have families in need within our parish and requests from The Breathing Room Foundation as well--can you help? Please send an e-mail to arrange for drop-off of your casseroles! (Breads, muffins and cookies welcome too). Thank you!
