Outreach

THANK  YOU,  VETERANS

We thank all veterans for their service to our country.  To show our appreciation, we donated new items to veterans at the VA Hospital in Salisbury.  With help from the Men’s Group of Holy Cross, our congregation donated 9 electric razors, 16 pairs of socks, 6 bottles of body wash, and 24 boxes of facial tissues.

Bookbag Give-A-Way

Our 3rd annual Bookbag Give-A-Way will be held in August.  Please check back to our website in July for the specific date and time.  Bookbags are given directly to students in the vehicle when it drives through our parking lot.

Annual Food Drive

Our 4th annual Youth Sponsored Food Drive is scheduled for the month of May.  Thanks to a Thrivent card and other donations,  the youth will shop for food items to be given to Our Daily Bread Food Pantry and Storehouse for Jesus.

Paper products were donated to Our Daily Bread Food Pantry.  Our donation included 180 rolls of toilet tissue, 60 rolls of paper towels, 210 diapers, and other personal hygiene items.

 

Holy Cross continues to collect blankets, pairs of gloves, hats, and other items for the homeless in Davie County.

 

“Buzy Hands” meets the 1st and 3rd Wednesday of each month to work on various projects.  Following each meeting, these folks share a meal and fellowship.

Thanks to a Thrivent Action Team card, we are able to prepare and deliver meals to the residents of a Group Home in Mocksville.  We share not only food but wonderful fellowship to these sweet people.

SOCKTOBER

During the month of October, members of Holy Cross collect socks and underwear for children in our area.  These are given to agencies in Davie County helping needy children and their families.

“Please Read To Me” was a great success.  We were able to donate 450 new or gently used books to Mocksville Elementary, Cornatzer Elementary, and Davie Pregnancy Center.  Each book will be given to a child to keep and hopefully encourage a love for reading.

Blessing Of The Animals

Our congregation is planning a special event in October where individuals may bring their pet for a special blessing.  Please check our website again in September for time and place.
