"The Giving Tree" is St. Joseph's holiday gift distribution program. Our clients sign up in September and we collect the names, ages, and clothing sizes for the family members. We usually get requests from approximately 2,500 people.
The information is sent out to churches, schools, and community groups who place the requests on their respective "Giving Trees." Kind people take the information and purchase gifts. Gifts are collected and brought to either our "Giving Tree location" for families, or to St. Joseph's for individuals and seniors. Click for more about The Giving Tree. |
Annual Toy Sale
Donations of new and gently used toys are welcome for the Annual Toy Sale on 12/16.
New toys are being organized by Little Flower Church in Berkeley Heights. Please contact the coordinator, Meghan Calichman at 201-874-4440 or mcalichman@comcast.net to make arrangements for delivery. Gently used toys, new and used books, and stuffed animals can be brought directly to St. Joseph's prior to 12/16.
Some guidelines...
We encourage toys and games that promote good values: educational toys, games that teach peace, respect for the earth and all people. We prefer baby dolls to Barbie dolls. Please, NO war toys or games that glorify violence. We want to give our children positive messages about themselves, other people, and all of God's creation.

Our 20-year old minivan is on its last legs. We use it mostly to take cardboard to the recycling center and do smaller food pickups. If you have a used van that you are willing to donate, we would be very grateful. Please call Bernadette at 908-354-5456, ext 3. |
