The special celebration will be followed by a light lunch.
Food items donated by those attending will go to Mary Mac's Place to be used in their outreach program.
Fresh or tinned vegetables and fruit, fruit juice poppers, cereals, pasta and rice can all be brought to Umina Church on Saturday, November 12, between 3pm and 4pm or on the Sunday.
"Mary Mac's in Woy Woy was commenced by parishioners of St John the Baptist Church Woy Woy, and the work has continued through CatholicCare, supported by many volunteers," the church newsletter said.
"This organisation offers support and companionship to address the experience of isolation and loneliness to some vulnerable people in the community.
"Mary Mac's can provide a pathway to other services like Legal Aid, homelessness support services and health assistance.
"With aid from community partners, a selection of food is available daily as a take home for those in need, and from time-to-time food hampers are provided.
"Mary Mac's provides social, community and friendship opportunities for men, women, families, young people, the elderly, and the socially and economically disadvantaged.
"This is a worthwhile project so please make a note on your calendar so you can attend."
