Family Supply Drive Details
Wednesday, July 15th, 2026 | 10 a.m.-3 p.m.
St. Mary's Academy | Drop-Off/Pick-Up Lane

This family supply drive supports Mother and Child Education Center, which serves needy young mothers and babies, and Project Lemonade, which serves Oregon youth in foster care! This project's namesake, the late Vicki Dieringer Ford '69,  embodied SNJM Charism in so many ways, inspiring so many across her faith-filled life, from her parish work at Holy Family, to St. Mary's Academy, to the Mother and Child Education Center.
