Our Council's annual Turkey Drive is scheduled for November 21.  Our Council will purchase over 100 Thanksgiving Turkey dinners for families in East Charlotte.  The Council provides frozen turkeys and all the fixings to the Sisters of Mother Teresa's Missionaries of Charity, who distribute the food. 

Your donation of $50 or more will help cover the cost of one Thanksgiving meal for a family. Last year the cost of this program ran over $5,200!

ONLY $50 covers the cost of a Meal for a Family!

Our Council was again able to obtain additional funds under Supreme's ASAP Program to supplement the donation we made this fiscal year to Walking With Moms In Need (WWMIN).

This is the third year that this program has been in existence, and we have been fortunate to use this resource all three years!  This is also the second straight year that WWMIN has qualified for these additional funds. WWMIN does their work right out of St. Matthew and is headed by Volunteer Melissa Scanlon. Once a month, they run a “Hand Up Day” in the Parish Gym where moms in need are given, free of charge, diapers, maternity and baby clothing, and other baby items, as well as information about doctors, child care, etc.

Council #10852's Financial Secretary, John Coudriet recently received a check from Supreme made out to St. Matthew for the benefit of WWMIN. On June 10, 2025, Brother Tony D'Angelo met with St. Matthew CFO Jane Balbirnie and presented her with a $400 ASAP check.
