The staff and volunteers at the SS. Peter and Paul Outreach Center have been busier than ever helping families in need in the Hamburg area. About 200 backpacks filled with school supplies were distributed this past week to families with hardships, enabling families to send their children to school well-prepared to learn this school year. Many thanks to the Hamburg community for generous donations, which made this program possible!

But the work isn’t done! The Outreach Center will now shift its focus to the other essential items needed by families in their care. There is currently a need for new or gently used towels and other household items. If you have items to donate, you can drop them off at the Outreach Center, located at 36 Pine Street, between 9am and 4pm Monday through Thursday. To purchase items for donation, you can see the Outreach Center’s wishlists at Walmart and Amazon. If you choose, your purchases through these links will be shipped directly to the Outreach Center for your convenience!
