The St. Vincent de Paul Committee will partner with Altoona Elementary to help families in need at Christmas.
Sign up to adopt a child. Sign-up online via Sign-up Genius. There will be a limited number of paper slips with a child's gift ideas available after Masses the weekend of November 26-27. Pick out a child to help this Christmas. Please follow the directions on Sign-up Genius or on the slip, and wrap and tag the gifts you purchase with the family and child numbers (for example, Family A10 Child 1). If you have a paper slip, be sure to attach it to your gift(s).This helps the volunteers who are collecting and sorting the gifts.
The gifts are due back to Ss. John and Paul the weekend of December 10-11. There will be a check-in table in the gathering space when you come to Mass, or gifts can be dropped off in Founders Hall. If possible, do not bring the gifts back early, as we do not have the storage space! Be sure to attach your slip to your gift(s)! The St. Vincent de Paul Committee will sort gifts on Sunday afternoon for distribution on Monday, December 12.
Thank you for the help and hope you provide our Altoona families! The support and love is so appreciated!
