St. Charles Borromeo Parish



Holy Family Service CenterPlease Shop Now for Our Annual Christmas Toy GiveawayWe’re still planning our annual toy giveaway for registered families who receive services through our ministry. We’ll deliver the bags of toys to families throughout December when they arrive for regular service at our center. That means we need to start early collecting toys. Please deliver your new, unwrapped gifts to the service center during our regular operating hours. We’re accepting donations now through December 6th. We need toys, books and sports equipment for children ages twelve and under. In the tradition of our Parents’ Table, we’ll also give away nice things for the grownups during the December toy giveaway period. Handbags, wallets, scarves, nice decorative items, new sets of dishes, and similar items would all make good gifts for the parents. Please help us contribute to a lovely Christmas for our families even during this pandemic year. Caution About Donation Drop BoxPlease DO NOT attempt to place new toy donations in the St. Vincent De Paul donation box in our service center parking lot. The box has been broken into overnight several times including last Friday, and thieves have taken every donation in the box. If possible, the best way to deliver clothing donations is to bring them to our west side door during our operating hours. Our Most Needed Regular Donations NowMen’s jeans and casual work pants. We desperately need continuous donations of jeans in good condition, all sizes, but especially sizes 34-40.Hoodies, sweat pants, leggings that can be worn under other pants Toiletries: toothpaste, toothbrushes, shampoo, soap, deodorant, lotion.

Jeans in good condition are what we need most. The rack has looked like this for over two weeks, and we have had to turn down many requests for pants because we don’t have them in the right size. The weather has changed, and our brothers in Christ will need good warm pants more now than ever. Please help us fill this rack and keep the pants coming! Hours, etc. ................
