Angel Tree
This year St. Paul’s is proudly offering several opportunities to give back to our community, by selecting a tag from the Angel Tree in the Gathering Space, you can support our Emmaus guests, the Northside Outreach Center and our Woodville families!
- Christmas Toy Drive | Our youth are working alongside the Northside Outreach Center to provide gifts for local families at drastically reduced cost; empowering parents and guardians to be partners in celebrating the Christmas season. Please consider purchasing a gift from the tree in the Gathering Space and returning it with the price tag or receipt by Sunday December 10. Thank you for your generous support!
- Emmaus Items | Let’s help our Emmaus guests prepare for winter with coats, hats, or gloves!
- Holiday Gift Card Collection for Woodville Families | Please join us in making this Christmas extra special for our Woodville families. Community Engagement is collecting gift cards. We recommend gift cards from Walmart, Kroger, and Target. Cards can be in any amount that you are comfortable with. We ask that you mark the envelopes with the amounts on the cards so they can be distributed evenly. We will collect cards through December 16.
