The annual Thanksgiving food drive and basket delivery is an old and honored tradition here at St. Francis de Sales High School. Each homeroom is assigned a particular Thanksgiving food item, such as corn, green beans, sweet potatoes, cranberry sauce, etc. Every student is then asked to bring in and donate the item assigned to his homeroom, as well as a donation of $1.00, which helps to cover the purchase of turkeys, butter, and bushel baskets. From these collected food items, 50 baskets are assembled, each basket comprising a complete Thanksgiving dinner. The baskets are blessed at the Thanksgiving Mass, and are then delivered by students and parents to families in need throughout the greater Toledo area.
The Thanksgiving food collection for the 2007-2008 school year is scheduled to began on Friday, November 2. Food assignments will be posted in each homeroom and will be listed on this web sight. On Tuesday, November 20, the Thanksgiving Mass and basket delivery will occur. If you would like to be a driver for the basket delivery, please contact Mr. Don Conry, the Director of Campus Ministry, at 419-531-1618 Ex. 318, or at
