FMCS students assist homeless
The pre-kindergarten students at Father Marquette Catholic School and Sarah Fogaroli, Welcome Home Program coordinator for Lutheran Social Services, are shown with some of the winter clothing the students collected during a recent service project. They collected 12 pair of snow pants, three winter jackets, three hats, three pairs of boots, and two pairs of gloves. All of these items were donated to benefit homeless children whose families receive aid from the Welcome Home Program.
