Giving Tree - Gift Tags
Thank you for those that have selected a tag online! 289 out of 364 gifts have been chosen. There are still 75 gifts left! Please return wrapped gifts by December 6.
RETURN BY DECEMBER 6
This year, due to COVID, we will be doing online sign ups for gifts instead of tags on a tree. With over 300 gifts for 53 families, each name belongs to a family member being helped by our St. Vincent de Paul ministry.

This year, adults and children 15 and older will receive one gift card of their choice for a minimum of $25 (you may choose to give more). Children 14 and younger will receive 3 gifts of their choice.
Go to STCLARECHURCH.ORG/GIFT to click on the the "Giving Tree Gift Tag" link
and for instructions on wrapping and returning the gifts.

Thank you for your generosity in supporting our Giving Tree Ministry!
