December Youth Service Project

Our service project for the month of December is “Shoeboxes of Love” for the elderly in our community. They are called “shoebox” projects because the gift must fit in a shoebox. Possible gifts for project: scarves, mittens/gloves, perfume/cologne, bath products, watch, stationary sets, books/magazines, slippers, or lap/fleece blankets. If you have any other ideas on gifts that the elderly would like you can bring that.

Please bring all items on Dec. 7th (JH) or Dec. 9th (HS). We will also need good shoeboxes and wrapping paper if you can bring those. We would like to wrap the gifts wither at CCE class the following week or on Wed. Dec. 16th at our youth social.

Questions? Call Bridget in the parish office (979-826-2275).
