As the pantry staff prepare for the holidays, they have asked us to help provide ingredients for a simple holiday dessert that families can make at home.

We are collecting white, yellow, lemon, and strawberry cake mixes, icing (no chocolate cake or icing, please), foil 9 x 13 cake pans, and 12 oz. cans of Sprite. The pantry will distribute these items with a recipe that uses one 12 oz. can of Sprite in place of the eggs, oil, and water typically called for in a cake mix.

Donations may be brought to the Cathedral on Nov. 15, 22, and 29. The St. Pius V Food Pantry serves many immigrant and refugee families, and your contributions will help bring a little sweetness to their holiday celebrations. Thank you for your generosity!
