Vicki Dieringer Ford '69 Alumnae Service Project
Thank you for joining together to support women and children in need by contributing to a record-breaking second annual Vicki Dieringer Ford '69 Alumnae Service Project, presented by the St. Mary's Academy Alumnae Council!
Drive Details
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. Learn more about her story.
Volunteers will be outside the school to recieve your donation. You choose what you want to donate, and we will sort items and deliver them. Please consider! Questions? Contact Sara Follen Salvi '71 at sarasalvi@msn.com.
