CHRISTMAS SHARING
New Toy Drive – Bring any new, unwrapped toy to the parish center by Sunday, December 6. Any toy is appreciated, although toys and games for school-aged children are most in need. Collection Bins are located in the Narthex or outside of the glass doors by the Community Room.
Adopt-A-Family – The Christmas season is almost here and many families will experience financial hardship. In years past due to the incredible generosity of many of our parishioners we were able to bring much needed Christmas cheer to many needy families in our Community. We are again asking for your help this year. There are many ways to participate – you can as a family, SCC or group of friends “Adopt” a family and we will supply you with the family’s “Wish” list so you can shop for them. It is up to you and your budget on what to choose from the lists we send to you. (Further details will be provided once you sign up to participate). We understand that shopping for a family can be challenging and so as always gift cards and/or a donation towards this program is a big help.
The Gifts and/or Gift Cards need to be dropped off at the parish any time on Dec. 12 (1-5pm) or Dec. 13 (10-6pm) (exact room delivery details will be provided along with instructions on gift buying & packaging). If you are interested or would like more information, please email Phyllis Discioscia at aafchristmas17@gmail.com.
