The Planned Assistance Ministry coordinates service projects throughout the year to help those in need. This includes collections of food, blankets, clothing, toys and other items.
Some of the most visible projects include a collection and distribution of food for Thanksgiving Meal, a collection and service project for Christmas and a collections and service project for Fast Track for School.

FastTrack

FastTrack is a county-wide drive to collect back-to-school supplies for children in the Center Grove area. The project runs through most of July and has been a very successful drive.

Thanksgiving Food Distribution

Saints Francis & Clare of Assisi's parish community is extremely generous and makes this needed program a huge success. Every year, right before Thanksgiving, over a hundred people, who have been invited through a referral program, come to our church and receive a complete meal for their Thanksgiving dinner.

In November every year, a list of food is handed out along with a grocery bag. Parishioners are asked to pick up a bag and list, fill the bag and return it the week before Thanksgiving. The Outreach Ministry orders turkeys and adds other food, such as potatoes and pumpkin pies to round out their Thanksgiving dinner.
