Million Dollar Hole-in-One Tournament
Christmas Giving Program
Student volunteers from local high schools select and wrap gifts for families we serve.
Volunteers gather for a morning prayer to begin a day of wrapping and making deliveries.
Mass of Gratitude
This altar, used during our Annual Mass of Gratitude, is constructed of food and furniture that will be given to families that we serve. The main structure consists of a nightstand and new twin box spring, and the sides are supported with food from our food pantry. Behind the altar we display gift baskets, toys, and bikes that will be given to children during our upcoming Christmas Giving program.
Families meet and greet each other as we gather for the mass. Some families involved with our ministry span as many as four generations!
Nearly 500 people gathered for this year's Mass of Gratitude to celebrate the start of the Christmas Season at My Brother's Keeper.
Student volunteers from area schools do readings from scripture for our mass.
Urban Plunge

Students package dishes, utensils, pots and pans to be delivered to families in need.
Students share a meal and reflect on strories from the day's deliveries.
