The season of giving is here! In a pandemic many families have been struggling with heightened anxiety during this time of threat, loss, and, uncertainty. This year, our school will again be providing a heartwarming and joyful Christmas to St Vincent de Paul families in need. While we cannot change their circumstances, we can provide some/temporary relief through our offering of Christmas gift for each family member, festive decorations for their home as well as grocery for their Christmas dinner.
This year, however, due to COVID-19 protocols, direct gift donation to each family member is not possible. Each student is kindly asked to contribute a gift card for them instead. To ensure variety, a store has been suggested below. Gift card from large stores is preferred as families are located throughout GTA Region. Kindly bring your gift card to the classroom between December 6, 2021 (Monday) and December 10, 2021 (Friday). For parents of online students, you are cordially invited to drop off your gift card to school office during school hours in the said week.
Your support for this charitable Christmas project is greatly appreciated. Your generosity will help put a smile on the faces of families in need in this holiday season! YOU ARE NOT ONLY GIVING THEM A GIFT CARD; YOU ARE GIVING THEM “HOPE” IN THIS CRITICAL TIME OF THE YEAR! We look forward to receiving your generous donations for this year’s families.
