It's Time to Return Your Rice Bowl

Supporting the Community through Sacred Heart Catholic Church

Welcome to Sacred Heart Catholic Church, a caring and compassionate community dedicated to serving the needs of our members and supporting the broader community through various initiatives. One such initiative that we are proud to be a part of is the Rice Bowl program, which allows us to make a positive difference in the lives of those in need.

What is the Rice Bowl Program?

The Rice Bowl program is an annual Lenten tradition practiced by many Catholic communities worldwide. It serves as a reminder of our blessings and encourages us to assist those experiencing hunger and poverty. By participating in the Rice Bowl program, we come together as a community to collect funds and raise awareness about global poverty and hunger.

How Does Returning Your Rice Bowl Help?

Returning your Rice Bowl to Sacred Heart Catholic Church is a simple yet impactful way to support our local community. The funds collected through the Rice Bowl program go towards various charitable organizations and initiatives that address hunger and poverty locally. These organizations work tirelessly to provide essential resources, such as food, shelter, education, and healthcare, to those in need.

Supporting Local Food Banks

One of the primary beneficiaries of the Rice Bowl program is our local food bank. The money collected helps stock their shelves with essential food items that are distributed to families and individuals facing food insecurity. By returning your Rice Bowl, you are directly contributing to alleviating hunger in our community.

Assisting Vulnerable Individuals and Families

The funds collected from the Rice Bowl program also support various organizations that work directly with vulnerable individuals and families. These organizations provide assistance in the form of housing support, educational resources, healthcare services, and job training. Your contribution plays a crucial role in helping these individuals regain stability and lead fulfilling lives.

How Can You Participate in the Rice Bowl Program?

Participating in the Rice Bowl program is easy and meaningful. Here's how you can get involved:

1. Pick up Your Rice Bowl

Visit Sacred Heart Catholic Church to pick up your free Rice Bowl. Our friendly community members and volunteers will be available to provide you with all the necessary information and resources.

2. Fill Your Rice Bowl

Throughout the Lenten season, set a personal goal to save money by making small sacrifices. Whether it's giving up a daily coffee or refraining from eating out, put the money you save into your Rice Bowl.

3. Return Your Rice Bowl

Once Lent is over, it's time to return your filled Rice Bowl to Sacred Heart Catholic Church. Every contribution, big or small, makes a difference in the lives of those in need. Together, we can create a positive impact on our community and beyond.
