WARM NIGHTS - OUTREACH TO THE HOMELESS
-
For “whatsoever you do to the least of your brothers....
Again, this year, Sacred Heart will be responsible for Warm Nights breakfasts and lunches from February 13-19, 2023. Similar to last year's, the homeless guests will be staying in a motel in Beltsville and unfortunately we cannot visit with them in person.
In addition to providing meals, we are looking for drivers to deliver the food each morning.

how can i help with warm nights:

Sacred Heart will not be hosting guests for Warm Nights as they will be housed at a motel in Beltsville, MD. However, we have committed to providing breakfasts, lunches, and assorted supplies (such as gift cards) to the guests for the week of February 13-19, 2023. Students can get service hours for helping by sending school service hours form to Brendan Gaeng at [email protected].
Here's how you can help.- Make 10 breakfast and 10 lunch bags (mark breakfast or lunch on the outside bag).
(typical breakfast bag should include wrapped bagel or granola bar or other food item, juice box, fruit, napkin, etc.)
(typical lunch bag should include wrapped sandwich, water or juice, fruit, chips, napkin, etc.)- Drivers needed to deliver food each morning.
- Financial donations are welcome which can be made through Faith Direct or by check/cash. Checks shoud be made payable to Sacred Heart Church with Warm Nights noted in the memo field. The checks or cash can be dropped off in the collection boxes or at the parish office.
- Donate needed items. [Click here to see list of needed items}
Bins for collecting needed items will be in the back of the church weekend of January 28/29 and February 4/5.- Pray for our brothers and sisters in Christ in Adoration on Tuesday, February 14 or pray the rosary during the week.
