Service Opportunities

On November 18th, SMART will be assembling care packages to donate to Joppa, a minsitry that serves the homeless population in the Des Moines metro. Please consider signing up to donate  an item (or a few). We will be using SignupGenius to keep track of what what have and what we need - to sign up for donations, click here. Donations can be dropped off in the parish office from 8-4 (M-T) or 8-12 (F). There is also a bin in the back of the church marked "SMART JOPPA DONATION BIN".

After teens assemble the baskets, we will gather on Sunday the 22nd at St. John's Basilica for Sunday Mass and then proceed to drop off the Joppa donations at their center on Euclid Ave.
