These items were valued at close to $10,000 and were given to HOPE Center in Ypsilanti, Catholic Social Services Northside Pantry in Ann Arbor, Foundations PreSchool in Ann Arbor and our sister parish Corpus Christi in Detroit.     The St.Vincent Service Ministry of St. Francis and our food drive coordinator, Mary Hayden, would like to thank the following people and groups for their assistance in making this project possible:  Busch's Fresh Food Market on S.
