Diocesan Day of Service (pdf)
Saint Dominic School will participate in the Diocese of Trenton's Day of Service on Friday, April 27. Our students will participate in a variety of community service activities and projects. We will host a breakfast for our first responders in the Community Room and collect donations for "Hearts to Hospitals."
Hearts to Hospitals - Thirty-one Catholic elementary schools in the Diocese of Trenton will be participating in a service project in which the beneficiaries will be sick children and their families in about a dozen hospitals spanning Burlington, Mercer, Monmouth and Ocean Counties.
This year, the Diocese's Catholic Schools Day of Service - an annual effort first launched in 2015 - will feature the collection of gift cards and new items that will be donated to participating hospitals with the aim of making time spent there by young patients and their families more comfortable and pleasant. With the key focus of children helping children, the 2018 campaign has as its theme "Hearts to Hospitals: Hearts to Lead - Hands to Help."
Among the desired items to be collected are coloring books, art supplies, small toys, small stuffed animals (no larger than eight inches), books, games and crafts. Other requested items include gift cards for convenience stores, restaurants, coffee shops, gas stations, and grocery stores in any denomination. Candy or "goodie bags" will be collected and assembled as well for hospital staff who work with the children.
Please click below for list of suggested items.
Collections will conclude by April 27, the official Day of Service, when students in all of the schools will work together to assemble the donated items and package them into gift bags for the hospital patients. Those packages will then be delivered to the participating hospitals the week of April 29.
