For the past four years, several MPA families have packed personal care kits to distribute at the "Loaves and Fishes" food program in St. Paul. For those in the MPA community who would like to help, please place donations in the large box in the cafeteria by Friday, April 11th.

We are collecting travel size soap, shampoo, conditioner, lotion, and deodorant, as well as razors and washcloths. Due to the large number of children that we see, we are also asking for donations of small toys. Anything the size of a Beanie Baby or smaller would be fine. The toys do not need to be new, but they should be in excellent condition. New or gently used socks for adults and children are also much appreciated. Toys and socks may also be placed in the box in the cafeteria.

 Thank you to all who participated last year. Due to your generosity, we were able to pack and distribute over 100 kits, which were gratefully received. If you have any questions, please contact Deb Wineman.
