CHARIS MINISTRIES
Holy Cross is a partner with Charis Ministries. Each month Charis Ministries has a Food of the Month to collect food items to use for the weekly Food to You distributions.
This month we are collecting pasta. Please consider donating and supporting this important community ministry. You can put your donations in the Food of the Month basket on the counter by the cafe area.
​
