About 'Give Thanks!' Initiative

The ‘Give Thanks!’ initiative is a heartfelt effort by the St. Victoria Catholic Parish Family to support our neighbors in Carver County. By providing Thanksgiving meals to those in need, we aim to foster a sense of community and gratitude. This program is made possible through the collaboration with Love INC, Bountiful Basket Food Shelf, and Mackenthun’s Fine Foods of Waconia. Together, we strive to make a meaningful impact during the holiday season.

How You Can Help

We are collecting non-perishable food items such as canned vegetables, boxed potatoes, gravy packets, cake mix, frosting, JELL-O boxes, and stuffing boxes.

Please drop off your donations in the Commons on November 15-16. Your contributions will help us provide complete Thanksgiving meals to families in need.

Support Our Thanksgiving Efforts

Make a Monetary Donation

Your generous contributions can help us purchase turkeys in bulk for families in need this Thanksgiving. Please bring your cash or check donations to the parish office, clearly labeled with “Give Thanks!” Alternatively, you can place your envelope in the Mass offering baskets on November 15-16. Checks should be made payable to St. Victoria with “Give Thanks!” noted in the memo line. Your support is invaluable in helping us reach our goal of providing 150 meals to Carver County families.

Every donation counts in making this Thanksgiving special for those in need. By contributing financially, you enable us to secure the necessary turkeys to complement the other donated items. Your kindness and generosity are deeply appreciated and make a significant impact in our community.
