Gift giving drive starts Nov. 28

November 17, 2020

At least one of the agencies that the parish donates to each year has made some changes to its gift program.
     St. Vincent de Paul’s Little Drummer program is asking for gift cards and a few specific gift items, including sports balls, board games and arts and crafts kits.
     St. Francis of Assisi, our sister parish in Milwaukee will accept any gift items, while Elizabeth House, a residential maternity and parenting program that supports pregnant women in Madison, and the Pregnancy Helpline in Madison will accept any items for new mothers and children ages infant to five.
     Simply bring an unwrapped gift or gift card to the church at any time between Nov. 28-Dec. 6.
     We will also take donations of wrapping paper.
     For all of these groups, please consider gift cards from the larger retailers, such as Wal-Mart, Target or Kohl's.
     Barrels and Christmas trees will be located at the church entrances throughout the donation period.
     Finally, if you would like to volunteer to deliver gifts to St. Francis in Milwaukee, please contact Georgine Jacobs at georgine.jacobs@gmail.com.
