Many hands for Helping hands

School-age members of Saint John XXIII Catholic Community (SJXXIII) and their parents sorted, delivered and stacked non-perishable food items donated by parishioners for their recent Thanksgiving Food Drive. This year’s total weight came to 6,656 pounds. This is the parish’s 17th Annual Thanksgiving Food Drive and the seventh year donations were delivered to Helping Hands of St. Louis. Last year, SJXXIII parishioners donated 5,468 pounds of food items. More recently, Cardinal Stritch High School donated nearly 1,000 pounds of food items. (Press photo by Ken Grosjean)
