The ninth annual Archdiocesan Mercy in Action Day is Saturday, October 18. St. Therese and the churches of the North Macomb Vicariate are joining together to benefit Susie Q’s Kids, which addresses the mental health and well-being of local kids by providing comfort bags to those in need. Organizations that receive these bags include hospitals, shelters, foster care agencies, autism centers, and grief organizations.
You can help by donating any of the following items from September 20 through October 12:
- 11 oz. bottles of shampoo
- 11 oz. bottles of conditioner
- Full-sized, individually wrapped bars of soap
- Individually wrapped toothbrushes
- Toothpaste
- Floss
- Tissues (travel-size packs)
- Deodorant
- Brushes/combs
- Chapstick
Also, volunteers are needed to assemble Susie Q bags from the collected items. This event will take place on October 18 at St. Kieran Catholic Church (53600 Mound Rd, Shelby Township, MI 48316) from 9 to 11:30 AM. This is a great family activity!
