These past few months have been a difficult season and presented families with their own unique challenges. We have the opportunity to spread some Christmas cheer this year! Help support families and individuals from the Goochland Christmas Mother and Peter Paul Development Center through our annual Giving Tree program. 

The biggest change this year is that instead of shopping for families’ wish lists as we have done in previous years, we will be providing Visa and Walmart gift cards. We hope that this change will provide our community with the flexibility to use the cards in any way they see fit, including gifts and groceries. Follow this link to sign up for gift cards so we know how many to expect.

Gift cards can be dropped off at or mailed to St. Mary's through Monday, December 14. Or if it is more convenient, feel free to write a check to St. Mary's with "Giving Tree" in the memo line. A volunteer will go out and buy gift cards with all the collected donations.

Ready or not, it's holiday shopping season! This year, consider honoring the special people in your life (and maintaining social distancing!) by shopping at the CrossOver store. Visit the online store to purchase gifts in any amount and designate them to the program of your choice: healthcare, dental care, vision care, prescription medication, mental healthcare and counseling, HIV/AIDS care, women's healthcare, social services, or where most needed.

The recipient of your gift will receive a handwritten, custom CrossOver Healthcare Ministry greeting card with your gift message included. And you and the recipient of your gift will have the pleasure of knowing you supported CrossOver through your holiday giving.

If you have any questions about the CrossOver store, please contact Elizabeth Wong, administrative manager, at ewong@crossoverministry.org.
