St, Mary's Food Pantry. Food distributions are often on the same day as the Santa Run. People needing food will already be waiting in long lines even before we get there to set up for the run. In helping the food pantry, you can see the people you are helping at the run as you enter that morning. St. Mary Catholic Church operates this food pantry & makes their items available to anyone needing help in in Northwest Indiana.
Help St. Jude House recover from a recent fire at their shelter. In November, St. Jude House suffered a fire that was contained to one part of the building. Thankfully everyone was able to evacuate the building safely and without injury. But, this puts an extra burden on the organization in an already busy season of caring for their clients.
