The St Veronica Knights of Columbus are sponsoring the 19th Personal Hygiene Items Drive to support MESA in Madison County, VA. Over the past 18 drives you have donated over 13 tons of items, $6,085.00 in gift cards and $10,355.00 in cash! We will be collecting the following: soap, shampoo for women, men’s body wash, tooth brushes, toothpaste, dental floss, deodorant, feminine products, baby wipes, toilet paper, tissues, laundry detergent pods, dish washing liquid (NOT for dishwashers), multipurpose cleaners, trash bags (large), adult incontinence items for men and women (L & XL), bed pads, men & women disposable razors. Gas gift cards (BP, Exxon, or Sheetz) and Food Lion Gift Cards in any increment are greatly appreciated.

You can leave the gas and store gift cards at the church office or drop them in the mail slot located in the Parish Hall. Items are to be dropped off at the church in the wooden bins in either vestibule from Saturday June 7th through Sunday June 15th. If you would like to have your donation delivered directly to MESA, consider purchasing off our Amazon Wish List, at https://bit.ly/stvmesa. The items are delivered to Our Lady of the Blue Ridge Catholic Church. Their mailing address is included for your convenience. If you would like to make a cash donation, visit the Knights site at https://kofc12579.square.site/donations or drop off a check payable to Knights of Columbus at the Parish office.
