OPERATION TROOP APPRECIATION
It’ s important to show our appreciation for those who have served our country. Operation Troop Appreciation( OTA) helps servicemembers deployed anywhere in the world— either in combat or on humanitarian missions— as active duty, reservists or U. S. National Guard. The organization provides items needed by the troops while deployed, and it also helps those who are transitioning back into civilian life.

FEEDING THE COMMUNITY
The Cloverleaf Area Ecumenical Assistance program serves area families in need of food or other help. It operates out of the Triumph of the Holy Cross Parish with many individuals, churches and synagogues participating.
The food pantry is located at the St. Elizabeth of Hungary school building, and distributes food every two weeks throughout the year, providing more than 120,000 lbs. of food annually. It is staffed entirely by volunteers.
