This year’s Social Concerns Christmas Giving Program is underway. The program, which runs from now through December 6th, will support clients of People’s Place and What is Your Voice?, local organizations which shelter and counsel abused spouses and their children. Families in need of assistance from St. Jude’s Religious Education program will also be supported. All will receive gift cards to purchase presents and other household needs for children and family members. Recipients in past years have expressed much gratitude for your donations to this program.
Here’s how to contribute:
· Purchase $25 Walmart gift cards.
· Place the gift card(s) in an envelope and clearly mark “Social Concerns Christmas Giving Program” on the outside of the envelope.
· Put into collection basket at Mass, OR place in the secure giving box outside the church office door, OR mail to the Parish Office.
· Monetary donations can be contributed by check and collected as listed above, or made via WE SHARE on the parish website. Go to the “Second Collection” section, then scroll down to “Social Concerns Christmas Giving.”
All donations are due by December 6th in order to meet distribution deadlines to the families. As always, we are very grateful for the generosity of our parishioners. Thanks in advance for your support.
