Bread of Life Food Drive: March 20 – March 31

Posted on by Janis DeVore

Watch our NJHS Videos about the Food Drive

During this Lenten season, we are pleased to announce that All Saints will be hosting its third annual Bread of Life Food Drive (BOLD) to benefit the All Saints’ Bethany Food Pantry and Catholic Charities’ St. Lucy Project. We are excited to once again partner with the University of Notre Dame Club of Staten Island on this nationwide food drive.

Here are details about this community service initiative to assist individuals and families in our local community in need of food assistance.

When will the food drive take place?

All Saints Bread of Life Food Drive will run from Monday, March 30 – March 31, 2023. All Saints students from the National Junior Honor Society (NJHS) will help organize the drive.

Where does the food go?

Almost a quarter of a million people in the Arlington Diocese are “food insecure,” meaning they do not know where their next meal will come from. Our school’s Bread of Life Food Drive will benefit the St. Lucy Project and All Saints’ Bethany Food Pantry to assist families and individuals living within Manassas, Manassas Park and Prince William County.

What can you do to help?

During the drive, your child(ren) can bring in food donations in the morning and leave them in the boxes that will be outside of their classrooms. Donations can also be brought to the All Saints school office (Monday – Thursday) between the hours of 8:00 AM–3:30 PM.

What food should I donate to All Saints Bread of Life Food Drive?

During the first week of the drive, we will be collecting non-perishable food per the chart below. During the second week, we are adding some fresh fruits and vegetables to our collection. Please see the grade level list below:

Grade Level Week of March 20 Week of March 31
Pre-Kindergarten Canned Soup Juice Boxes
Kindergarten Pasta Mac & Cheese
First Grade Peanut Butter, Jelly Rice
Second Grade Brownie/Cookie Mix Oranges
Third Grade Beans (canned/dried) Carrots
Fourth Grade Canned Meat* Oil
Fifth Grade Cereal and Oatmeal Canned Tomatoes
Sixth Grade Canned Vegetables Peppers
Seventh Grade Canned Fruit Potatoes
Eighth Grade Pasta Sauce (no glass) Onions
Faculty/Staff Maseca Flour/Flour Sugar

*Chicken, ham, beef or tuna

The grade level that brings in the most food will enjoy a Chick fil-A lunch, courtesy of the school. The grade level that donates the second largest amount of food will receive a dress-down day, and third place will receive extra recess.

If you have any questions about our 2023 Bread of Life Food Drive, please contact Janis DeVore at jdevore@allsaintsva.org.

Thank you in advance for your generosity and support of the Bread of Life Food Drive to benefit those in need of food assistance during this Lenten season.

2022-2023 School Theme Announced

Posted on by Janis DeVore

At the beginning of each academic year, All Saints announces a theme that further unites us as a faith community and that provides a daily focus for all of our efforts.  I am pleased to share with you the theme for the 2022-2023 school year.

My spirit rejoices in God my Savior.

These words of the Blessed Virgin Mary, taken from the Gospel of Luke, are aligned with the second year of preparation for the diocesan celebration of the 50th Anniversary Jubilee.  It is Mary who is the Model Disciple who shows us how to the receive the Word and to bear the Word to the world.  As we enter into the second year of preparation later this fall, it is a time for us to rejoice in the vitality of our diocese as well as the vibrancy of our school community.  I pray that this theme will be a source of inspiration for you and your families throughout this academic year.

More information about the preparation for the Diocesan Golden Jubilee can be found at the link below.
