Presence Under the Christmas Tree
The St. Vincent de Paul Committee will partner with Altoona Elementary to help families in need at Christmas.
Slips with a child's gift ideas will be given out the weekends of November 23-24 and November 30-December 1 before and after masses. Take a slip or two and brighten Christmas for those who need some assistance.
Please follow the directions on the sheet to make it easier for those sorting the gifts.
The gifts are due back the weekend of December 14-15. There will be a check-in table in the gathering space when you come to Mass, or gifts can be dropped off in the sacristy. If possible,do not bring the gifts back early, as we are desperately short of 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 16.
Thank you for your generosity! -
Share your Love
Adopt a Resident from Altoona Nursing and Rehab
200 7th Ave SW | Altoona, IowaAre you looking for a way to reach out to someone in need at Christmas?
Not everyone is blessed with friends and family, and during the holiday season, this can be especially hard. Altoona Nursing and Rehab is starting a new program this year, Share your Love. This program is open to everyone in our community who would enjoy making a senior smile for Christmas.
As you walk into the foyer at Altoona Nursing and Rehab, there will be a Christmas tree with numbered ornaments. On the back of the ornament, the person's gender will be listed, along with three items the person may need or want. By the tree is a sign-up sheet; please write your name and phone number by the ornament(s) you have selected. Please wrap the gift(s) you have selected and place the ornament you took from the tree on the gift.
The tree is up now. Please bring your gifts in by December 15th.
