Mother's Day Project

Communication with loved ones is very important for people who are imprisoned. It helps keep them grounded and better prepares them for their release. It’s important to the families as well. We facilitate the communication process by providing cards and stationery to juveniles, women, and men so they have materials to use, especially at Mother’s Day. Once again, we are asking for your help.

What we need for the Mother's Day Project:

• Stationery, Mother’s Day cards, Thinking of You cards
• USPS forever postage stamps
• Paper lunch bags 5 1/8 x 3 1/8 x 10 5/8
• Reams of colored paper on which to print our insert letter.  Please no construction paper.
• Monetary donations to help cover delivery costs
• Golf pencils without an eraser

Materials we cannot use:

• White paper, notebook paper, yellowed or very old cards
• Cards, envelopes or stationery that have glitter or anything glued, pasted or taped on it or that have stickers attached, 
• Nothing with crayon, highlighter or marker.  This is very important as we follow prison rules.
• Regular pencils or ball point pens

 
A collection box marked Companions Journeying Together will be at the courtyard exit of Ascension Church by the sacristy.

All donations must be in by March 1 after the 10:30 AM Mass.
