St. Pat's Angels Collect 2,677 Items for the Needy

St. Pat’s Angels, an initiative created by St. Patrick Catholic School in Carlsbad had a goal to collect 1000 items for their Bread of Life Food Drive, but ended up colllecting 2,677 items!

“Bread of Life works to provide daily meals to those who are hungry in our community,” said Raylene Bassett, Bread of Life Operations Director “Last month, we almost had to turn people away due to our shortage of food. Thanks to the St. Pat’s Angels and their food drive this month, we should have plenty of meals to serve during the Thanksgiving holiday.”

In addition to providing ample opportunities for students to give, the St. Pat’s Angels program works to make things fun for students. 

On November 3rd, students visited the Carlsbad by the Sea Retirement Community to eat cake (donated by Nothing Bundt Cakes), play games, dance and share dreams with the seniors. On November 10, students visited the Friends of Cats rescue and sanctuary to socialize and play with the animals. 

The St. Pat’s Angels program is always open to suggestions from the community on ways to give. To make a wish request email stpatricksangels@gmail.com
