We could also use new white and black socks for men and white socks and slipper socks for women. Many men and women, living on the street, will be given a bag with a sample of some of these items. We will fill the plastic eggs for the children and the gift bags for the adults at the Poor Man’s Supper on st Tuesday, March 31 at 6:00 p.m. All these items can be placed in the large plastic containers that can be found on the altars at both sites or brought to the OLP Social Hall on Tuesday, March 31st at 6:00 p.m. 5-109-Our Lady of Peace
