This annual picnic at SRN has been a tradition for over 35 years, started by Father Dave Hawley to connect St. Ann’s Parish in Baldwin with St. Robert’s. It has since expanded to include low-income seniors from local nursing homes and senior centers in the Grand Rapids area. For some of these seniors, it is their only outing for the entire year. The event features lunch, entertainment, games, and prizes. Volunteers are needed for decorating, food prep, serving, set-up, clean-up, and socializing. Donations for gifts and raffle prizes are welcome beginning in June until the event. It’s a great opportunity for families to volunteer together and make the day special.
The event is typically held mid-August before families begin their “back to school” schedules.
