"For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink. . . Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me." - Matthew 25:35-40
What We Do
Every November and December, St. Augustine hosts the annual Thanksgiving Food and Christmas Toy Drives. Our parish comes alive with the warmth and generosity that define this special time of year.
Leading up to Thanksgiving, food donations are collected to provide holiday meals for those in need. Then, as Christmas approaches, we gather toys to ensure children experience the joy of receiving gifts.
During the Thanksgiving season, parishioners unite in a beautiful display of giving. Through our Thanksgiving Food Drive, we collect frozen turkeys and canned goods for distribution to over 500 families. With gratitude, we come together to make a difference in the lives of our parish and community members.
Our Thanksgiving Food Drive season opens in October 2026. Please check back later for updates.
Christmas Toy Drive
As December approaches, our focus shifts to the joy of giving during our Christmas Toy Drive. The beauty of the season shines as parishioners generously donate toys to bring smiles to the faces of children who may otherwise go without. The spirit of love and kindness during this time reminds us of the true meaning of Christmas. Learn More
