Ashley Riegel from St Francis Evangelization Center started talking to us in April of this year about supplying them with personal care items. We discussed this with the officers and decided to replace our fall clothing drive with a personal care products drive this year to benefit the above. With the assistance of Angel Schneider, the Director of Communications and Engagement for our parish, we were able to include our parish and school in the drive. We collected items at all Masses the weekends of November 1and 8, plus the school collected items the week of November 3-7. Those collections lead to 13 U-Haul medium boxes (18x18x16) 3 small boxes, 6 large plastic bags, several large tote bags and a large donation of toilet paper made by a brother Knight. Tony Adams donated his State Farm van; the delivery was made to McArthur on 11/13/25 by Mike Weiland and Pat Kent. The staff at St Francis Evangelization Center was very appreciative and thrilled with the donation.

We had a total of 13 manhours in the project.

Based on Dollar General Store on 21st Street in Newark Ohio, the values assigned was as follows.
