SVdP Giving Tree

CHRISTMAS GIVING TREE PROGRAM
SOCIETY OF ST. VINCENT DE PAUL

Our giving tree for the poor and needy in our area will go up on the weekend of November 16/17th in the Narthex. For those who do not use this entrance, there will be trees set up in the North and South entrances of the church with tags on them.
Each tag will have a number identifying the family, the first name and age of the child. Each child will have a total of 4 tags on the tree, which includes: 2 separate tags for clothing; a tag for a $25 Publix gift card; a tag for a gift card or toy of their choice. It is very important that you tape the tag with the information face up on the top of the wrapped package or attach to the bike, then place them under or near the tree in the Narthex. Gift cards can be placed in the red box next to the tree.
We request that once you take a tag, please make a copy of it, or write down the information, as we have no way to track lost tags without the family number and the child’s name.
Please be advised that we are the only area organization that provides gifts to teenagers up to the age of 17. Please consider taking tags for these children as this may be the last Christmas they receive gifts. Also, it would be very helpful if each tag has a gift receipt enclosed in case the family needs to exchange the item, or in the case of gift cards, an “activation confirmation”.

The gifts need to be returned to the Giving Tree NO LATER THAN WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 11th.

Thank you in advance for your generosity in supporting this most worthwhile project.
