St. Mary’s Church Sponsors “Neighbor to Neighbor” Fundraiser

UXBRIDGE — On March 26, the volunteers from the Neighbor-to-Neighbor ministry at St. Mary’s Church in Uxbridge will host their second annual fundraising dinner. The theme this year is an Italian Buffet. Dinner will be from 6:30 – 9:30 p.m. at St. Mary’s Parish Center located at 77 Mendon St., Uxbridge. Come share a delicious dinner of pasta, lasagna, salad, bread and dessert. Tickets for this event are $5 and can be purchased by calling Michelle Etzold at (508) 278-2374. There will also be a silent auction of many wonderful donated items. Neighbor-to-Neighbor ministry began last year when a local family struggled to pay their bills due to a catastrophic illness. The immediate question of St. Mary’s parishioners was, “How can we help?” And so this ministry was born. The focus of this ministry is to assist a local family in need who may be dealing with the overwhelming burden of medical bills due to a serious illness. If you would like to volunteer at this event, please call Annette Gion at (508) 278-3777. If you have an item you would like to donate toward the silent auction, please contact Etzold. Please come enjoy a night out with friends while helping a local family in need.
