The Social Action Committee is prepared to help parishioners in the following ways:
The Penny Fair is one of our biggest fundraisers. It is held on the first Saturday of November. Donations are solicited from area businesses. Help is needed with this. Help is also needed to set up the night before and on the day of the event. The parish hall doors open at 10:00 am. Gifts are displayed on the tables and people are able to put tickets in buckets for the drawing. A lot of new and craft items and gift certificates are raffled off when the drawing starts at 6:00 pm. This is a fun activity for the whole family.
A rummage sale to benefit St.Ambrose/St. Peter's Youth Ministry is usually held twice a year, usually in February and August. There is a lot of work involved with sorting items the week before the sale, and set-up for the sale, as well as clean up. This is a major fundraiser for Youth Ministry, if you'd like to help please contact Lisa Grover at 802-989-3895.
