- Please note, we are still not accepting In-Kind donations at this time (no drop-offs). However, purchasing items through Amazon or other online retailers (our Amazon Smile link is   https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1W1YPV4JO2HOR/ref=cm_go_nav_hz), and having orders shipped to Saint Andre Bessette would be a HUGE help to ensure we are able to continue passing out sack lunches and hygiene kits.
