THOMASVILLE — Now in its sixth year, the food collection ministry at Our Lady of the Highways Church continues to be a great success, collecting 22,972 pounds of food and $13,033 to-date to aid the Cooperative Community Ministry and the Fairgrove Family Resource Center.
The food ministry started in 2015 through the efforts of Pat and Joan White (pictured), who felt the call for the church to help those in need in the Thomasville area. The once-monthly food collections take place at all the Masses one weekend each month.
